Scales for weighing pellets (2025)

[Lt. Dan]

I know there are different opinions concerning weighing pellets to increase accuracy but I want to give it a try.

I need to buy one so I seeking your suggestions. 
What I desire is repeatability. I currently have a small digital scale used in reloading but if I use it to weigh the same 8.44 grain pellet five times I'll get five different weights.

I have found that air currents can interfere with the readings.  A ceiling fan, air conditioner,  HVAC vents can blow enough air to give unrepeatable results. Heck, even breathing on the scale can make it resolve to differing weights when verifying some that you have already weighed.

You could give this one a try since you could simply return it if it doesn't work out. This one has 2 calibration weights and has adjustable feet with a built-in bubble leveler.

Have you experience with this scale?

I am using a scale that is very similar to this: https://amzn.to/4jLeT6v

I have had mine for 5 years and had great success with it.

No, just found the features you may need to get more precision.
I have a couple of Amazon scales, but I don't use them for separating pellets.
As I'd mentioned, you could simply return if you find it doesn't meet your needs. Zero risks!

An electronic scale used by jewelers works very well.
I am sure they are inexpensive on AMAZON.
I have had many scales when reloading PB ammunition.
I sold all of my reloading stuff to a kid In Elk Grove.
Now I use this one for pellets:

 This is the scale I use to measure pellet weigh.
0.001accuracy
 Works very good, like others said moving air can change the measurement and vibrations like a washer running can make readings abit off.

(New Version) AMIR Professional Digital Scale, 20g Pocket Scale with 0.001g Accuracy, Electronic Smart Scale with 20g Calibration Weight (Battery/Tweezers Included)

I tried adding the link but didn't work so I included the name above

Frank in Fairfield,
 Looks to be the same brand just different layout. I can't post a pic for now as I am hard at work. Same orange color, tweezers and batteries included. It has been awhile since I weighed pellets. Id like to get back to weighing pellets. I would weigh 10 pellets to get the average weight and note the deviation in weight, +/- .g
 I have only weighed several of the pellets I have... Have alot of weighing to get done sometime.
 The weight scale mentioned above is from Ama_zon dotcom.

Thanks guys for all your input. 

[Nukall856]

  I have another scale that measures in 0.01 g accuracy, this leaves abit to much open for interpretation, Soo you will be better off with a model that has 0.001 accuracy. The 0.01 model i use on other things that are not pellets.

I've decided to try this one.  If I don't like it I will send it back.

Lt. Dan,
 That is the weight scale I have and it works very good. I hope you enjoy yours

I've used this one, or one just like it ever since I began casting a few years ago.

Looks just like the one that I use for reloading. It measures to .02 grains and is absolutely repeatable when measuring pellet weights and reloading powder. I bought it about 10 years ago and it's still going strong. I paid quite a bit more back then because it was considered a high end scale at the time. Looks to be a commodity item now.

How is the scale working?  Is it a keeper or back to Amazon?
