Devildawg66PACT powder scale
Anyone know the procedure to calibrate a PACT powder scale? I just got one at a price I could not refuse but it don't have an instruction manual with it. It works great, in that it powers up and talks to the powder dispenser. However, I don't know how to calibrate/zero the scale. It has 2 weights with it. A 20 gram and a 50 gram.

30378I calibrated mine by chunking it in the garbage. Most inaccurate POS I ever had. PACT could have cared less. My level of pistivity was unbelievable with the PACT scale.

Alberta CanuckI have 3 electronic scales, including a PACT.
I have been using the PACT for over 10 years now. (It is one of the early ones which can't talk to a powder dispenser.)
My PACT scale is my "go-to" scale for all my reloading where accuracy is important enought to justify hand-weighing every charge thrown.
For really large runs of hunting, plinking, or other ammo where accuracy is not critical, I use my other scales and their "automatic" powder dispensers.
