It has a buffer, so it doesn't bounce around. That can effect the accuracy 
somewhat, but I would say it isn't much more than 0.1g off. It also reads in 
grains and that is quite accurate also. It has a count feature that I 
haven't tried yet. I'm going to check it out with CR felt punching to see if 
I'm getting my money's worth <G>
