Description
If you want to trust every charge you throw, a good digital scale is where it starts. The Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Precision Scale handles powder, bullets, cases, and loaded rounds with a 1500 grain capacity and 0.1 grain resolution, which is plenty of range and fine enough detail for serious handloading. It reads out on a large hi-contrast LCD with a blue backlight, so you can see your numbers clearly whether you're loading in good light or a dim corner of the garage.
What the Platinum Precision Scale Brings to the Bench
Beyond weighing powder, this scale measures in grains, grams, ounces, and carats, so it pulls double duty for sorting brass, weighing bullets, or checking components by whatever unit you prefer. A tare function lets you zero out the pan and anything else sitting on the platform, and a stability indicator tells you when the reading has settled instead of leaving you guessing. There's also an auto shutoff that kicks in after 180 seconds to save battery life.
Calibration and Setup on the Platinum Series Scale
It ships with two calibration weights for a three-point calibration, which keeps your readings honest over time. A lot of reloaders use a scale like this to spot-check an automatic powder measure, trickling up to the exact charge and verifying every so often that the thrower is still on the money. The podium indentations on the platform even help index round objects like arrow shafts if you're into archery.
Power and Portability of the Platinum Precision Scale
You can run it off four AAA batteries or plug it in using the included 110V supply, and a 220V adaptor is in the box for overseas use. An integrated clear cover protects the load cell during storage and transport, and the whole kit tucks into its own storage case. One thing worth knowing: the load cell is sensitive, so set it up away from a fan or an AC vent where moving air can nudge the reading. Treat it right and it's a dependable, no-drama addition to any loading setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Frankford Arsenal Platinum Precision Scale?
The scale reads to 0.1 grain resolution with a 1500 grain capacity, which is fine enough for precise powder charges and heavy enough to handle loaded rounds. For the most consistent results, calibrate it with the two included weights and keep it away from moving air. Letting the stability indicator settle before recording your reading also helps.
Can the Platinum Precision Scale run on batteries or does it need to be plugged in?
You can run it either way. It operates on four AAA batteries or uses the included 110V power supply, and a 220V adaptor comes in the box for overseas use. The battery option is handy if your bench outlets are already crowded.
What can I weigh besides powder on this scale?
It measures in grains, grams, ounces, and carats, so it works well for weighing bullets, sorting brass, and checking loaded rounds in addition to powder charges. The tare function lets you zero out the pan or any container so you only read the component itself.
Does the Platinum Series scale come with a case?
Yes, it includes a storage case that holds the scale, powder pan, and calibration weights. The scale also has an integrated clear cover that protects the load cell during storage and transport, so everything stays protected between sessions.
