does their digital scale measure in Grains? Need to have a grain scale for powder measures- unless you like doing math and doing conversions.

Yes it was my first time at Harbor Freight... I know I know I need to get around more
 About the scale, you guys are right, it is probably not accurate enough since 2 grams = about 30 grains so I don't know if it will be precise enough. |

I have several Harbor Frieght tools. But I'll warn you, they aren't going to be the 'Industry Standard' of tools. I've had a lot break before their time.

 Their stuff is ok, if I made a living with tools, I wouldn't use these, but for occasional use, they work just fine. I bought my reloading stuff back in the '70s and still use it. Buy quality and it will last.
