<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1468496, member: 13650&quot;]I just received a new Ohaus scale today and I&#039;m thinking about sending it back.&nbsp; In the past, I thought these were quality scales but I&#039;m really not impressed with this.&nbsp; It&#039;s a YJ501 gold scale.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Supposed to weigh up to 500 grams and be accurate to 1/10th of a gram.&nbsp; Which is 1.5 grains.&nbsp; I wanted to use it for reloading too but it&#039;s just not accurate enough.&nbsp; 1.5 grains is a lot.&nbsp;&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t even get it to weigh a 5 grain calibration weight.&nbsp;&nbsp; It read the 10 and the 20 one time and now something is screwed up with it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I hit tare and it zeros but then a number bounces back on the display and stays there.&nbsp; You tare it again and&nbsp; the number just comes back again.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s a plastic cover that comes down over it so there is no interference.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I got to calibration mode and it wants a 200 g. calibration weight set on it.&nbsp; Of course it didn&#039;t come with one so I can&#039;t do that.&nbsp; &nbsp; My 100 g, $20 pocket scale was easier to use and more accurate than this $80 scale.&nbsp;&nbsp; The controls are clumsy and confusing.&nbsp; You&#039;d think the &quot;Light&quot; button would turn the back light on and off.&nbsp; It does everything BUT do that.&nbsp;&nbsp; Made in China.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
