Hornady Precision Lab Scale

[Yoteski]

Anybody else see this release from Hornady? I caught it on one of their videos. It's apparently still utilizing load cell tech. Would be interesting if the accuracy is good for a little cheaper price.

I watched it twice. Curious what it will cost.

Grafs has them listed as out of stock for a price of $429.99.

So for $200 more you can get an FX-120i? Hornady does have sales and maybe there's an early order price break.

If this scale is using the same old strain type load cell technology, it will be subject to all the same issues as the other less expensive scales. When you reach a level, such as the A&D FX120i, you see an actual “lab grade” scale, with a totally different type of measurement system. This system, a force motor type, is more accurate and less subject to interference than the strain type load cell scales. Not saying Hornady stuff is not good by any means, I’m just saying that if this new scale is using a strain type load cell, it is really nothing new. The scale overall and features may well be new and upgraded, but the method by which it is weighing charges, is not.

Anyone test its accuracy yet? How it compares to other lab grade balances? Very curious given its price!
