I need to measure Millegrams and can't seem to find a scale online at walmart,target or Kmart.
Any ideas? Conversion charts online are not helpful

you can get one to measure in grains, but then you would have to convert it to MG.

7000 gr/ lb so it should be pretty accurate. Most gun stores sell them.

Paul. What specific one. I see most measure as low as grams??Mine weighs up to 50g and in 0.01 graduations which is more than accurate enough for our needs. 0.01 of a gram is 10 milligrams.

I just got this scale last week. It measures in MG with a resolution of 10. It is also a .01 gram scale.

Mine measures in 0.1 gram and I wish I had purchased one that measures in 0.01 grams. I'll probably buy another one day.

Martha is there a difference between gram and grams like you mentioned

It's easy to weigh out the amount of medication you want if your scales weigh 0.01. If you need 0.13 of something, for example, you can weigh it easily if you have the scales that weigh in 0.01 increments. I have to guess at somewhere between 0.1 and 0.2. Not a very good solution.

you can get a lot more accuracy if you measure out 5x what you want, dilute it in a known quantity of water and then only use 1/5 of the water. otherwise, it can be extremely difficult to measure tiny quantities. even the air circulation near the scale will change the reading.
