Product Details

Programmable Auto-Off Feature If you've ever had your scale turn off on ya in the middle of important measurements, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. You can program this gem scale to turn off automatically, or to stay on until you turn it off yourself.

Protective Case This little jewelry scale comes with a hard, protective case to keep your scale, along with all of its accessories, nice and safe.

Bright Backlit Display This digital scale has a fancy backlit display to help ya see your weight readings, even in dim lighting.

Man, This Thing Is Tiny! You won't have to worry about this scale taking up space. It's just over five inches long, and only two and a half inches high.

Hinged Platform Protecting Cover This precision scale has a hinged hardcover ya flip down over the weighing platform when you're not using it. This helps prevent accidental damage to the load cells.

It Remembers The Last Unit Ya Used If your application needs weights in the same unit of measurement, (like ounces for instance), it can be a real pain if your scale always turns on ready to weigh in grams. It's a good thing the GemPro turns on displaying the unit of measurement you were using when ya turned it off.

Stainless Steel Platform The Gem Pro has a durable stainless steel weighing platform to make cleanup a breeze. Unlike gold or silver, stainless steel doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.

Easy Calibration To make sure ya keep getting the best weight readings from your scale, it helps to calibrate it from time to time. This jewelry scale has instructions to make calibrating your scale easy. The Gempro even comes with the 20 gram calibration weight ya need to use for regular calibration, however, if ya need to calibrate the linearity you'll need to pick up a 50 gram calibration weight because that one is not included.

Tare Feature The tare button on the front of this digital scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use the included expansion tray to weigh your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.

Liquid Level Indicator This very handy feature helps you quickly and easily get your scale nice and level. A level scale is important for getting the most accurate weight readings.

Five Useful Accessories The GemPro 250 comes with great accessories. Use Old Will's exclusive VibraKill� Pad under the GemPro to keep vibrations from messing up your weight readings, and the calibration weight to keep it nice and accurate. If you're looking to use the GemPro as a diamond scale or carat scale, the little expansion bowl is perfect for weighing those teeny tiny jewelry pieces, and the included tweezers make picking up those pieces easy. You even get an AC power adapter, just in case ya don't have any batteries on ya. You can store the GemPro250, along with the expansion bowl, tweezers, calibration weight, and adapter in the included protective storage case.

Kill Those Vibrations With VibraKill� Did ya know that vibrations can cause a scale's reading to bounce around from one weight to another? Included with this digital scale is a VibraKill� Pad to keep vibrations, (caused by everyday items like, your fridge, nearby music, your washing machine, etc...) from messing up your weighing.

3 YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY! If ya have a problem with this scale, just send it to MyWeigh's warranty center in Phoenix, Arizona. They'll fix or replace your scale and send it on its way back to ya within a week of receiving it. You should expect your replacement to arrive in about two to three weeks from the day you send the original off. Keep in mind that sometimes MyWeigh runs out of stock, which can cause a delay in the warranty replacement process.

This scale is an excellent scale. It appears to be accurate to the scales specs and operates well. The two things I foun is that there is some drifting, which is a common thing found in many (most) small scales and that it is slow to react to small changes. I shoot competitively and use it for reloading. I have figured out how to work with these slight imperfections and like it very much. It is a big step up from my made-for-reloading scale I used to use.
Also, Old Will Knott Scales was a great company to purchase from.

I am really happy with this high quality little scale. Was looking for an accurate electronic scale for hand-loading ammunition and found this after some research. To get accustomed to it, I used it in tandem with my beam scale and was delighted that it followed perfectly with the exception that this little scale adds another decimal place of measurement and it is quite fast compared to the beam scale. For the comparison I set tare on the scale with same pan from the balance beam scale and I would quickly compare. The scale is very compact so it does not take up much room on the reloading bench and it will be easy to transport should the need arise. I can certainly recommend this scale!

Five Stars, One of the best on the market for the money, Very accurate, will measure to two places and for a competitive shooter that is what you need. Be sure to power up and leave it on for a few days before trying to zeroing it. This will allow you to make small loads for the new 32ACP rounds that are now being used in the International shooting.

The scale works great. It's a little slower than my old one but a lot more accurate being able to measure hundredths of a grain. Haven't noticed the drift people complain about. Mine sits perfectly level on my desk and I did use the ferrite coil on the power cord. I've only loaded a small amount of ammo with it so far. But so far it's all good.

Works perfectly for precision reloading. Key is to leave it plugged in, maintain a consistent temperature, and turn off all sources of air flow i.e. A/C or heat. This scale is extremely precise so simply breathing on it can affect accuracy. Even direct sunlight will cause a difference in readings - it's that precise. When I reload, I close the blinds and turn off Heat or A/C. Then it weighs perfectly every time.

I was a bit apprehensive after some of the reviews that I had read online elsewhere. After one reloading session, I am quite pleased. I used the wall ac to power it without batteries installed. I did not use the provided chokes.

Using the cover caused a big change in the readings. I was surprised. I didn't use the cover after my initial quick test. Except for storage. That was the only issue.

I was in a room with fluorescent lights. I didn't see any problem with them. Was I lucky??

As a preliminary test I reweighed the provided calibration weight over 24 hours a dozen times. After 15 minutes through 24 hours all readings on the calibration weight were within a range of Max-Min of 0.02grains.

When reloading I could tell the effect of one speck of powder upon cartridge weight.

I purchased a set of Lee powder measures and put the appropriate amount on the scale and trickle with the Dandy Trickler and can get within .02 grain with the powders I use. The trickler lets me dispense 1 kernel at a time, about .05 grain and the results have reduced group size and SD on the chronograph.

I am a long-range rifle shooter and reloader, so accuracy of my shots is affected by attention to the details in the ammunition reloading process. I have read the GemPro250 has a reputation for accurate powder charge weighs, and after weighing out powder charges, I am in complete agreement. The GemPro250 is the most accurate powder scale I have ever used. This is a well thought out scale, delivering good accuracy, at a fair price. I recommend the GemPro250 to anyone who reloads ammunition. I will be satisfied whit your purchase.

Been sitting on my reloading bench for over a month now. Have not felt well enough to work with it till now but WOW it works. I did a bunch of research and settled on this scale based on reviews & features. Most desired was/is the 2 decimal read out. Shows me just how “dead on” I was, not, with the previous electronic scale. The plastic pan did not work out well for me so I substituted a metal pan I had. The only annoying thing is that you have to look straight down to see the reading. I reload my 223/308 from a seated position & it is bit difficult to read. Would I purchase again – you bet! Would I recommend – you bet !

There are plenty of negative reviews of this simple little scale. Trust it, it works. Old Will supplies you with a sheet to "trouble shoot" through. It shares a lot of potential interfering elements that may negatively affect this scale. I can tell you, this scale is plugged into the same surge protector as two other electronic devices. I have a fluorescent 4 - 48" bulb fixture right above my reloading bench. I have a computer server shelf, router switch, back up power unit, back up WIFI data center within four feet of this My Weigh GemPro 250 scale. FYI, my reloading room is in my back office at my place of business. I have all of these "interfering" items and my scale is consistent and dead on. I use the supplied ferrite interference suppressor and leave the scale on all the time. To date I've worked up loads for my M1A in 308 WIN and my 6.5 Grendel with this scale. I loaded to measure velocity, I loaded to confirm those velocity flat spots, I then loaded in those velocity flat spot ranges to find the most accurate load. This scale did it all. Trust it, it works. Trust the set up process and the 24 hour wait time to use it and it will work. I love being able to read grains to the 100ths. This gives me much more confidence in producing a low velocity SD.

I purchased the Gem Pro250 to weigh rifle powder charges and spent an entire weekend fighting with the scale. I was experiencing all the same complaints that caused many scales to be shipped back to Old Will's. I had decided to send mine back when I tried I last thing that I have not seen mentioned in any of the reviews. I REMOVED the Anti-vibration Pad from underneath the scale. After removing the pad, placing the scale on a hard surface, leveling and calibrating, the scale has worked flawlessly. I noticed the scale would move anytime a button was depressed while it was resting on the anti-vibration pad. The pad was causing all the following problems, inaccurate weights, not holding zero, not returning to known tare weight, and drift. The pad is too thick and will compress then slowly return to normal thickness over time causing problems, Now the scale is Dead Nuts On!! I weighed a 168gn Hornady BTHP on a different scale and it weighed 168.08gn. On the Gem Pro is weighed 168.08 20 out of 20 times. I was also using it as a check weight between about every 5th powder charge. It is slow to settle when trickling powder but I believe that is the price of accuracy. I would definitely recommend this scale for accurately weighing powder. Only reason I give it a 4 is all the wasted time figuring out the anti-vibration pad was causing the problems with setup. Hope this helps!! Cheers!

I've just begun using the GemPro 250 but my initial impressions are very positive. Set up was simple and the calibration processes are a breeze. I'm using this scale for weighing powder charges and sorting bullets and the scale settles promptly on final weight. About the only criticism I have so far, and this amounts to picking nits, is that one needs almost directly over the scale to read the backlit display. An adjustable height stool solved that problem. Lastly, the shopping experience from Old Will Knott's is absolutely outstanding!

First off my initial purchase was a Jennings Mack 20 for reloading, looked like the box had been opened before I received. Scale wouldn't keep Tare weight, called and talked to a rep who was very professional and walked me through to make sure scale wasn't working as it should. He suggested a return and they would replace, I told I would upgrade to GemPro 250 instead. I was anxious that this would turn into a Charlie Foxtrot, but the GemPro arrived and the correct credit was given to my credit card ... unbelievably smooth and much appreciated transaction. As for the GemPro 250 it is the best reloading scale I've used, love the accuracy of the scale, should help improve my reloads greatly.

Although I bought my GemPro250 a few months ago, I wanted to put it through its paces before reviewing. I use the scale for reloading only and was anticipating using it for checking powder charges from my powder measures. When I started working up a loads for a new 7mm-08, I realized that it may be my most used powder measure. I use it in conjunction with an Omega electronic tricker and have found it to be quick reporting, reducing the time in this part of my reloading sessions. Let it warm up for an hour or so, it calibrates quickly and more importantly, it is accurate. I have checked it multiple times with my RCBS 10-10 balance scale (made by Ohaus) and It is dead-on accurate. Whether you are using it to weigh cases and bullets or as your primary measure, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend.

Must admit rather slow to give the reading and will not weigh as one trickles the charge in the pan have to remove and replace to gain the updated readings? Love the accuracy and the size of this scale. Old Will Knott a wonderful source and service above and beyond expectation. Would refer any and all to Old Will and the Gem 250 scale. Thank you.

I must admit I have only used my Gem pro 250 once since receiving it. I ,however, am very impressed. The 250 is very accurate. Delivery was on time and the scale is exactly as was described. I was a bit lost with how to calibrate the scale the first time and to me the manual wasn't all that clear. So I called Old Will Knott sand asked for help. The very first person i talked with was familiar with the procedure and walked me through it in a few minutes perfectly. I now have a good resource if I have questions in the future. I would recommend Gem pro 250 and Old Will Knott to anyone. There service and product are so much better than Pact. TOM

I really like this scale and the price point. Way better than a standard reloading scale... For units in grains, you get 0.02 resolution. The very minor negatives are that it does take at least 3 seconds to finally stabilize, and it would be nice if the display was a tad more upright so you can have the scale further away from yourself and still be able to read the numbers easily. I do a quick ballpark pour using a powder scoop on a cheap scale, and then use an omega powder trickler to get the charge up to the desired weight on this scale; one grain at a time if need be. Using this method cut my velocity extreme spreads for handloads by almost half. I have not found to need to use the wind blocker, but it does help protect the load cell during handling.

I received my Gempro and followed the instructions for this site and from the manufacturer. As long as you let the scale warm up for a couple hours there is zero drift and the scale works perfectly. I worked up a load this morning and it took about half the time it normally takes with my beam scale. So far I have it and would recommend it to everyone that reloads. The only complaint I have is that the screen is a bit hard to read unless you are on the right angle but that is not a big deal.

I was looking for a reliably accurate scale that worked fast for my air gun pellet sorting. Several reviewers had indicated the GemPro 250 was slow to yield a weight, but I wanted to try anyway. Glad I did. The stabilization circuitry does take 3.2 seconds for a final weight...too slow, but an initial weight is available at approximately .4 seconds and seldom changes 1mg from the final weight. That's plenty accurate enough for my purposes. The scale doesn't slow my work flow at all and I work about twice as fast now than with my previous two scales. The scale needs to be warmed up to get this kind of performance, but the AC adapter with ferrite loop works well...I just keep it turned on. I've gone through almost 10,000 pellets so far and I'm still very pleased.

Great service and super fast shipping. Scale performs exactly as advertised and my only complaint is the display. It's flat and to see the display you have to be over the scale. You can't see the display while sitting with the scale at bench level. Should have the display angled upward to be seen either standing or sitting. Either stand up to weigh powder charges or put the scale at a lower level than your bench top.

After reading several reviews from many reloading sites, I decided to give it a try. I had high expectations and the Gempro 250 exceeded them. Very easy to set up and calibrate. Very accurate with a fast readout, allowing me to weight out to the individual kernel. Ferrite clamps are a must on it's power cord. While you're at it, place clamps on all power cords in the same room. The other clamps may not have been needed, but it would not hurt (that alone improved the accuracy of my other scales).

I bought this scale about a year ago and am very pleased. There are however some procedures that must be followed for this scale to work correctly. First, it must be level and on its vibration pad. Second, it must warm up for at least an hour before you calibrate it. Third, it must be free of static electricity. Everything that's placed on the scale is kept on a fabric softner sheet when its not on the scale. If I don't do this the scale begins to drift. I use my scale for reloading and would not hesitate to purchase another. only real gripe is I paid close to 150 for mine and I see their on sale for about $115.

First impressions. Wow it is small. Can almost fit in your hand. But in reality it is suppose to measure grains of sand with fine precision. Something so light you cannot feel it in your hand. After using it, I came to really appreciate the compact size. It comes in a very nice protective case, power supply and calibration weight. I had a small issue with it going back to zero after repeatedly placing the calibration weight and removing it. It would show -1 gram or -2 gram sometimes. This is really not a big deal for me considering the price and the fact we are talking about the difference in a speck of hair here. I simply hit the tare button to re-zero and problem solved. I would not invest in a better calibration weight. I think it would be a waste of money for this scale. The scale is pretty dang accurate for what it is. I measured repeatability accuracy using a small wire tie that weighed 204 grams. I weighed the piece about 30 times. It was very consistent within 1 gram. If you truly want 1 gram repeatability you are going to have to invest in a scale that cost 10 times what this scale cost. I would recommend this scale to anyone that wants or needs 1 gram precision. It is pretty awesome for the price.

Bought this scale after hearing good things about it, and ordered it from here because of the good thing I've heard about will knotts. Product was shipped the same day I ordered it and got it within the work week. Used it for reloading and it works great! Very accurate and precise. Just like any precision scale such as those used in laboratories, you need to let it warm up to get the best results. That being said, I have let it warm up for as long as it takes to set up my components for what I'm reloading and have not seen any wandering, even with a short warm up time. Highly suggest this for hand loaders or anyone who needs a precise scale for a great price.

It arrived in perfect condition and a couple days early. As to the scale itself, it would be nice if the anti vibration pad was a little bigger. I bought another piece, cut it two inches bigger each way and now it much better. I have fluorescent lights three and a half feet above it and the scale is not impacted by them. It took me a little while to get used to weighing in .01 of a grain instead of .1 grain, but now I think it is great. I recommend this to any reloaders and I would definitely by from Old Will Knotts Scales again.

I have had my GemPro-250 for about a month now. I use it for reloading and set it up beside two Sartorius AY123 lab scales that sell for over $300. I like GemPro-250 better. It settles faster, seems more stable and the numbers are exactly the same. I work out of two locations and thus will be buying another one soon. Some specifics about the unit beyond the weighing operation being good are : The pad that comes with the unit is very useful, the cover is high enough to cover my weighing pan completely without interference and makes for very stable readings. The back lit display is easy on the eyes and calibration is very simple. I teach reloading in four states and will definitely be recommending this to all my students.

I have had the GemPro-250 for a little over two weeks, and have used it to reload 500 rounds of ammo. I shoot F-Class and wanted something more accurate than my old Ohaus M5. The GemPro-250 works fines, albeit it may get off zero occasionally, but when this happens you can tell right away, and re-zero it. This has not happened frequently enough to be a problem. It helps to turn the scale on perhaps a couple of hours before starting to use it, and then just leave it on if you anticipate using it later that day. The only thing I don?t like about the scale is that it is slow. When you put a weight on it, it readily displays the weight very accurately, but when you add (trickle) a bit more, then you have to wait several seconds for the display to update, and sometimes the first displayed weight after weight is added is not the scale?s final answer as it may display a slightly different weight a few seconds later. I found that I can trickle to the desire weight faster with the Ohaus M5 than with the GemPro-250, but I hope that with further practice using the GemPro-250 will allow me to speed things up. If I had to do it over, I would buy an FX-120i from Cambridge Environmental Products for about $388 (400 CD). I would buy it from OldWillKNot, but their price is $700. A far as customer service from OldWillKnot, I can?t say yet. I received an email asking me how my recent purchase (the GemPro-250) was working out and if I had any problems. I thought this was great, and was ready to reply, but then realized that the email was just an automatic email that is not monitored so it cannot be replied, and this was a disappointment. All they wanted was for me to write a review, as I am now doing.

I purchased the Gempro 250 after reading may reviews not only on this unit but several others and the take away was this was the best unit according to the reviews. My purpose for a scale that reads down to 0.02 of a grain is long range shooting (1000 yrds) with a 308 service rifle. Below is a summary of my experience: ? Frustrating: Using the ?Grains? unit of measurement ? Erratic behavior o Inconsistent zeroing o Inconsistent calibration o Inconsistent readings Calibration: The GemPro 250 comes with a 20 gram calibration weight. After verifying the unit is level and unaffected by the environment, A/C adapter plugged in and 4 good AAA batteries installed, the calibration procedure is performed. Note1: scale pad provided is minimal at best scale feet hang over the edge of pad. Inconsistent zeroing After a few attempts performing the calibration procedure the GemPro 250 may zero with no error, power the unit down, wait a few seconds and power back up and you may read zero or you will have 0.01 to 0.04 grams displayed, (not zero). Calibrating the GemPro 250 with the 20 gram calibration weight (unit reads 20 grams) change the units to grains (308.64gn) and it ranges anywhere from 308.66 (0.02 grains) to 308.74 (0.10 grains) heavy. Very seldom does the unit read 308.64gn, let alone read consistently. Inconsistent calibration Trust thru Verification Every powder charge measure on the Gempro 250 is verified by a beam scale for accuracy. This is a very necessary step as to provide the most consistent powder charges I can make. I perform this process every time I use the Gempro 250. Being precise on my powder loads is a major time consuming effort, typically 2 to 2.5 hrs to measure power for 25 cases within 0.04gn of each load. This is not a very efficient method to measure powder charges. Beats the purpose of a digital scale. Note2: The beam scale is subject to not returning to zero every time due to being bumped or other unexplainable phenomenon so the use of both scales is required to verify powder charge. My shot groups have tightened since employing this methodology and my long range shooting has been more consistent. Note3: I previously bought the i201 compact scale by my weight and it is even more inconsistent and frustrating to use than the Gempro 250.

I have been using a GemPro 250 for about 4 years for reloading. It isn't a d=.0001 g scale, but they are too sensitive for most applications. I normally check the pan when I put it back on the scale, to make sure it goes back to zero. That's a pretty good indication it will read right. Trickled powder will need a little prompting from a pencil or pen on the pan to make sure it weighs what you think it should. I have an old Mettler H80 that isn't any better to use than this scale. Even with being out of a lab since 1975, things go well and two more have recently bought the same scale!

I bought this scale on the recommendation of many precision and benchrest shooting forums. The scale feels a little on the light side, but works as advertised. The included accessories leave a little to be desired. The calibration weight is 20g. A 20.0g weight would have been nice. The powder pan is a little awkward to work with due to its small size, but reloaders should have a better pan on the bench. The stage case is sized very tight for the scale and accessories. The area around the front clasp cracked for me when the power cord was caught between the top and the bottom. The scale works wonderfully, however, you need to make sure there is no air movement or drafts or any sources of excess heat or cold nearby to make sure you get a solid measurement. I use the A/C power and pug it in the night before I am ready to measure powder to make sure it is thermally stable. Since I am reloading for precision rifle, I give the scale 8-10 seconds on each measurement to make sure it has settled. I know some people will hem and haw about that, but we're loading for precision, not speed. Overall, the scale is very nice and seems to be very accurate. The .02gr precision is fantastic and easy to work with, especially with extruded stick powders and a trickler. I rate it a solid 4. If the accessories were a bit more robust and replaced the 20g weight with at least a 20.0 weight, it would be a 5. Still, I recommend the scale for its precision and functionality.

I bought the Gem Pro 250 for weighing powder loads. It worked satisfactorily, although the weight tended to drift a bit like most scales. I was pleased with it until I installed batteries. One of the positive contacts in the battery compartment was apparently installed upside down, making it impossible for one of the batteries to make good contact. No matter what I tried, the scale would not even turn on in battery-only mode. I called customer service and a replacement was promptly shipped, along with a prepaid label for shipping the old unit. Unfortunately, the new unit had exactly the same defect in the battery compartment. I could get the unit to turn on by holding the loose battery in by hand; however, it only squealed briefly and then shut down. Customer service promptly emailed a prepaid label for returning both scales. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this Chinese-assembled scale to anyone due to quality control issues. I would give customer service five stars, but the product only three.

I've been using this scale now for about three weeks. It's easy to calibrate, easy to use, and is extremely accurate. I was using an older more expensive scale similar to this one for reloading. The older scale needed to be recalibrated constantly. The "GemPro 250" once calibrated weighs accurately load after load. I've saved a ton of time. (No pun intended.) The resolution was a key feature for me, since I also weigh other items requiring an accurate weight, down to the 100th of a gram. Seems pretty ridiculous, but I'm pretty anal when it comes to accuracy. This scale is also very affordable without spending several hundred dollars for a lab scale when this one will do. The only other item out for a verdict is it's longevity. I hope to get many years of useful service from this GemPro 250.

I'm happy to say it reads dead on to those calibration weights. One note when you calibrate this scale, turn it on and let it "warm" up a few mintues and it will calibrate correctly every time.

Although not generally advertised as a reloader's scale, this item deserves top accolades as an accurate, economical and easy to use tool. I received my scale within days of ordering (thanks to Will's excellent service), and tested it out using the supplied check weight. Instructions were simple to follow. Calibration took seconds. I tried a few powder charges using a powder trickler, and the scale registered an accurate reading within .01 grains with no fluctuation. This scale will pick up vibrations and air currents, so be advised to keep it in a stable environment. It comes in a small but sturdy case and is supplied with an AC adapter. The measuring dish is perhaps too shallow for capturing powder granules (I used the dish from a beam scale and zeroed out its weight on the MyWeigh scale as instructed). One last bit of advice for measuring out powder: use caution when pouring, otherwise some granules can end up stuck beneath the scale's dish. But overall this is a fantastic addition to my reloader's equipment.

I am using the scale for reloading, and I was so impressed with its accuracy, stability and value that I returned my $350 Sartorius AY-123 for a refund. This scale is just as accurate, way more stable, occupies about 1/3 or less the space, and costs 1/3 what the Sartorius costs. Highly recommended!

The Gempro 250 seems to be a very accurate and so far, reliable, scale. I particularly like the ability to run it off the 120 v transformer and not have the thing turning off when it times out, as most battery operated scales do. When used in conjunction with a ASTM class 4 calibration weight (which is a necessity for accurate reliable results) I am well satisfied with the results. Only time will tell if the scale holds up well over the months and years.

Ordered, received within four days - very well packaged. Also ordered the cheap 50 gram check weight to be able to perform both types of calibration - scale comes with the 30 gram weight. Have been using it for about three weeks reloading, and this is by far the best scale I have used - ever. No I have not used the scales over $400 but have used RCBS and triples, this is superior - sent the others back due to issues with everything from the AC adapters do not even fit the plugs in the units to poor resolution and moving [not same reading with only reference weight minutes later] target weights. Nice to be able to drop the weights back on the scale and see that it is still where is started. Highly recommended. Also would buy from Knotts again - believe it or not they were the cheapest I could find for this scale, but met every expectation. VERY happy.

After reading several reviews I chose to get this scale to try and improve my ES while testing new loads. Wow... This thing really does help, I throw my charge then trickle, then grab the tweazers and add one granual of powder at a time till weight is reached, usually I have to wait about 5 seconds between granuals for them to register. I tested this meathod using 20 cases that were sorted by capacity with primers sorted by weight and bullets sorted by bearing surface, ES of 7, SD of 3!! 20 unsorted cases with unsorted primers and bullets ES of 31 Standard deviation of 13!... .256 moa groups at 300m with prepped brass and hours less sorting... might be my rifle, might be hours of felt recoil, or might be VERY consistant charge weights... Also, absolutly no drifting so far.

After looking on the AR15 and Enos forums the GemPro 250 came out on top. I didn't know anything about Old Will Knott and bought on a risk. The scale does everything it says it does and is very repeatable. Having both battery and AC options is a plus. Having a scale like this is comforting when doing a lot of reloading and load work up, you don't want to be off and you want to know exactly how much powder is in each test load.

I bought the GemPro 250 to use exclusively for reloading. While not yet a 'senior' citizen, I found that reading the beam on a balance scale became more and more difficult. I had to take off my glasses for a 'birds eye view' with every load. This is not the case with my new GemPro. I find it easy to use and quite accurate. I like to weigh each load and this scale has reduced the time involved considerably. This is particulary true with load development where I may alter the weight between loads by .3 grns. No set up and complete confidence. Old Will Knott Scales provided a great price and quick delivery. They certainly earned my business and my recommendation. Thank you Will!

review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
I shoot Airguns - specifically benchrest in .22 and field target in .177 the difference in pellet weights out of the cans are huge so weighing your lead and grouping the batches is essential if you want to hit the 10 ring or knock that target down at 55 yds. I did a lot of research and decide on the Gem Pro - I was not disappointed. Great product, totally accurate with repeatable accuracy - I've tried a lot of different cheap $30 - $75 ebay scales and none of them were reliable, or accurate - they each gave me a different weight every time with the same pellet. NOT with the gem pro - If I weigh a pellet I get the grain weight down to .02 of a grain - every time, time after time. AWSOME little scale, I am so glad I finally paid a little more and bought a decent scale that does exactly what it claims to do. You won't be disappointed.

This is a great scale at a great value. This scale makes sorting brass and bullets an easy task. I also used this scale to check the calibration on my RCBS 5-0-5 beam scale, which was off. I fine tuned my 5-0-5 and now have two great scales that consistently match each other. I did have a problem with my AC power cord making a very annoying high pitched noise. Old Will Knott Scales sent out a new AC cord right away and now everything is great. I also had drift of about 0.02 to 0.04 grains on the GemPro 250. I went to Radio Shack and bought a two pack of ferrite cores that snap over the power cord for about $3.50. This took care of the drift problem, after I give the scale a good warm up time. I don't know why the manufacture doesn't include ferrite cores on the power cord, or why Old Will does not have them as an option, as they are a cheap, effective way to reduce drift in these scales. I also bought an aluminum pan for use with powder measurements. The supplied plastic scale gets static and the powder tends to cling to the pan when you are dumping it. I am pleased with the product and Old Will Knott Scales.

GemPro 250 Great Customer Service after a defective scale

review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
I purchased a GemPro 250 for reloading. I had used a RCBS 304, probably one of the best mechanical scales for reloading that was ever made. But, time took its toll and I could no longer rely on the scales accuracy. Trust me, when I say I look hard and long for an electronic replacement. I decided to buy from Old Will Knott Scales because I couldn't find any derogatory reviews about this company. When I received the scale I was more than pleased. It seemed to perform as I'd hoped for, but I soon noticed that it wouldn't calibrate correctly. What drove me nuts was when I removed some propellent from the dish, the weigh would go up instead of down. I called Old Will Knott customer service, and like they say, you actually talk to real people who are concerned. After our conversation I tried it again for a day and called them up again and they sent me a no cost return prepaid label for UPS. I was just informed that my scale wouldn't calibrate for them and a new scale is on the way. As we all know, as important as the product is, the company you buy it from is as important, and maybe even more important. I was informed that these scales are rarely defective and coming from a company like Old Will Knott Scales, why should I think otherwise. I load 45 ACP, and I look forward to getting that replacement. The GemPro 250 reads out to hundreds of a grain. Most of the electronic reloading scales read out to the tenth of a grain. I don't know about you, but one tenth of a grain is a lot of propellant, so it seemed like a natural to go to this scale. I use a Hornady Progressive Lock-N-Load press and my case activated powder drop is amazingly accurate. Before the scale became unreliable, the powder drop was routinely dropping right on or two hundreds of a grain either way of what I was loading. How's that for accuracy? I was using Hodgdon Clay, which is more difficult to load than a ball propellant. The GemPro 250 is a good way to go, and Old Will Knott Scales was certain the other good decision I made. Happy shooting!

After receiving several good reports about the Gem Pro 250 and Old Will Knott Scales I ordered a 250. Putting it to work, I found out it would not repeat and would drift. I contacted Old Will Knott Scales and Shala (who is a great person for help) responded. She suggested that I don't rush the scale, let it read the weight of the pan. After following her advice, the 250 worked great. I weighed out 40 loads. Set them aside as I always do. I reweighed them again several days later, 39 of them weighed exactly the same load as before. The only 1 off was off by only 1 kernel of powder!!!! Well done Shala, ED

I purchased the GemPro 250 to replace an RCBS scale for reloading. As I reload for pistols, accurate weights of light powder charges was very important and I wasn't getting that with the RCBS. It would drift as much as two tenths of a grain and take an excessive time to settle. The GemPro seems to have solved these problems. It settles fast with little or no drift. The .02 grain accuracy gave me a great deal of confidence in the weights. Re-weighing loaded charges showed them to be spot on. So far the GemPro 250 has performed admirably and allowed me to stop obsessing about inaccurate charges. I am very pleased with the unit and look forward to many more precise sessions at the loading bench.

I am very pleased with the GemPro 250, which I use for reloading ammo. The scale measures to 1/100th of a grain unlike the more typical scales that measure to 1/10th of a grain that are sold by RCBS, Hornady, Lee, and other ammo and reloading supply outlets. The 250 was also $20 less expensive (10%) than my original 1st choice - the RCBS ChargeMaster. It makes sense that the most accurate scale would be designed for jewelers, who have the most to lose from error in weigh measurement of jewels and precious metals. My only negative comment is that the scale, in battery mode, chews up four AAA batteries in a couple of hours. Whatever processing is going on in that little unit is energy intensive. No problem, I'll just plug it in and enjoy the speed and accuracy.

I have used the GemPro250 for a couple of weeks now- solely for weighing powder for precision reloading. The repeatability and accuracy is spot on as I check with certified check weights. The only issue I have is that of drift. It seems to move .02 to .04 gr. over the time it takes to drop another powder load. Not every time but enough so that I end up re-calibrating perhaps every third or fourth time. Aside from that it appears to be quite accurate and reliable.
