Many of the digital scales....are made by PACT....and then branded for various retailers....and most all of them are only accurate to plus or minus 0.1 grain..../ which is ok for most applications.

For better accuracy ...you'll need to go to a scientific scale that will give you accuracy of plus or minus 0.02 gr ..../ but they're not $100....

The scale you're looking at is probably ok...but look at what the mfg says about accuracy and who made it...

I used an RCBS electronic for yrs ...with no issues ( it was made by PACT )...before I upgraded to a scientific scale made by Denver Instruments...but there are a lot more options around today than there were 10 yrs ago...
