[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5078940, member: 20060"] It's not the conversion. With the check weights in grains, specially the 1 grain, you can check that the scale increases by the weight of the check weight you set on the scale. It is worthless to go from say 5 grams (77.16 grains), the smallest in that set, to 15 grams (231.49) (adding the next smallest) when many loads are under the 5 gram weight. As to the calipers, I am using the Harbor Freight digital ones that go from metric to standard. Those you just have to make sure you get repeatable measurements, and every now and then check a known size to check for accuracy. Since we are just reloading and not machining (unless you are doing that too), they are good enough. [/QUOTE]
