RCBS Pocket Scale 1500 GN · digital control scale
Compact double-check instead of automatic dosing
The RCBS Pocket Scale is a small control scale for the reloading bench and mobile use. It offers grain and gram display, tare, a 50-g calibration weight, and a capacity up to 1,500 grain or 100 g.

Does this fit your process?


Fits well
when powder charges, bullets, or cases need to be compactly checked
as a cross-check to an existing dosing method
when little space is available on the reloading bench
when grain and grams are needed directly on the device



Fits rather not
when automatic powder dosing is expected
when an integrated trickler is desired
for permanent mains operation without batteries
as a replacement for a controlled, calibrated reloading process



Practical effect


Tare Place the weighing pan, zero it, and then only read the filled weight. This reduces unnecessary calculations.


Calibration weight The included 50-g weight allows the manufacturer-recommended calibration before use.


Two units Grain and grams can be selected directly. Before each measurement series, the active unit must be consciously checked.


Compact power supply Two AAA batteries make the scale independent of a power outlet; the auto-off function saves battery.


Limits & avoiding bad purchases


No dispenser: The scale does not automatically dispense powder.

Environment matters: Drafts, vibrations, temperature changes, and an unstable surface worsen the accuracy.

Calibration remains mandatory: Small size does not replace a checking routine.

Battery info contradictory: Current offer data list two AAA batteries included, the RCBS manual Rev. 11/25 states they are not included. Keep two AAA batteries ready just in case.

safe use
Place the scale on a level, vibration-free surface, let it reach room temperature, calibrate and start tared. Stop the loading process in case of drift, overload display, weak battery, or implausible repeat values. The RCBS manual explicitly excludes black powder.
FAQ

Is the Pocket Scale a powder dispenser? No. It weighs and tares but does not automatically dispense powder. What units are available? Grain and grams. Is the calibration weight included? Yes, a 50-g calibration/check weight is specified. Is black powder allowed to be weighed with it? No. The RCBS manual explicitly excludes black powder for this electronic scale.


Black-Raptor classification: The Pocket Scale is strong as a compact control scale and weak if an automatic dispensing system is actually sought. The sensible purchase therefore depends less on the maximum resolution than on a clean, repeatable measuring process.
