Scale Recommendation? +PB701MHF Weight
Scale Recommendation? +PB701MHF Weight
Just wondering what scale you guys use to weigh all your stuff? My current food scale only reads 2 1/4 etc. Looking for something that goes at least to hundredth of an ounce.
I ordered a PB701MHF and just received it the other day. My picture for some reason is corrupted, but scale read 2 1/4 just like it did my two North Fork X rays.
May have to order a K2715 now and see how that weighs :-)

I use the AWS Scale Mate for a lot of my weighing. 500g x 0.1g.
For single guides and really small stuff, I use my reloading scale. RCBS 502 beam scale. It can weigh individual grains of gun powder. A TiSiC micro guide is not even a challenge for that scale.

I also use one of those digital pocket scales from Amazon. They're fairly accurate from my experience.
I have a K2 715 blank at home and a PB701MHF on the way. I can get you the weights if you like.

Great idea about the ammo scale! Always wanted to start reloading, this gives me an excuse to start :-)
Ogrich31 thanks for the offer, I'd love to see the weights you come up with so I can cross reference.

Working on uploading the pic, new weight of the point blank rod is 2.19. was hoping for the sub 2 oz as advertised but should still be nice and I know blanks vary.
Re: Scale Recommendation? +PB701MHF Weight
The weights of my two blanks are:
PB701MHF = 65.34g / 2.305oz (listed as 1.94oz on PB's site)
K2 715 = 48.35g / 1.705oz (listed as 2.01oz on Phenix's site and 54g on the label)
Every blank is different, these are just the weights on the two blanks that I have.

Thank you!
I really like the feel of this point blank. Finished rod should be well under 4 oz

that is a pretty big discrepancy on published vs actual weights... hard to make up .35 oz!

Re: Scale Recommendation? +PB701MHF Weight
That's what it measured on my scale. Thought it was off too.. But the K2 came in lighter than what others have reported as well. So I don't know anymoresarcazmo wrote:I was thinking the same thing!
