To achieve the highest levels of accuracy most benchrest shooters utilize the same 5-10 pieces of brass for an entire event, reloading at the range between relays.  Fischbach employed a technique not often utilized in the short-range benchrest world by pre-weighing charges into small vials to then be loaded at the range.  These charges were measured using Creedmoor Sport’s TRX-925 Precision Reloading Scale.  The TRX-925 weighs down to the hundred (0.01) of a grain and Pascal credits this exceptional precision as a key element in his success.

“I have been shooting powder from 2019…it’s hotter and might also have a narrower sweet spot window, so weighing loads carefully is paramount,” said Pascal Fishbach. “I drop an initial charge with my electronic measure and then finely adjust with a trickler over the TRX 925 scale which is sensitive to a single kernel of powder,” added Fishbach.

Developed by the team at Creedmoor Sports, the TRX-925 was designed from the ground up to offer exceptional accuracy and value for shooters.  The scale uses grains as its native unit of measure to avoid the rounding errors many other scales experience when converting weights from grams to grains.  The TRX-925 also comes standard with three F-1 class calibration weights to help ensure consistency during each reloading session.

Creedmoor Sports is excited to announce the TRX-925 Precision Reloading Scale, the newest introduction to our product line-up. Our development team set out to create one of the most accurate and precise scales on the market that directly meets the needs of reloaders who are looking for the pinnacle of performance. To achieve this level or precision and accuracy, the team focused on the needs of reloaders first and foremost, and worked to develop a high-performance scale that aims to be the premier reloading scale on the market.

To offer the highest level of accuracy possible, the team started by ensuring the scale utilized grains as its native unit of measure, maintained accuracy down to the hundredth (0.01) of a grain, and had a more refined level of calibration for exact and consistent measurements.

As reloaders, we speak in grains. Our specialized programming sets the Creedmoor Sports TRX-925 apart from other scales on the market. While measuring in grains may seem like the norm, the vast majority of scales on the market utilize grams as their native unit of measure and simply convert the measured weight from grams to grains by using a formula. Unfortunately, this method of behind-the-scenes conversion generates significant rounding errors that can affect the reported weight. The ability of the TRX-925 to read down to 0.01 grains, eliminating the gram/grain conversion process, and measuring natively in grains, were absolute musts to achieve the level of accuracy the Creedmoor Sports TRX-925 is capable of.

To ensure that the TRX-925 maintains the level of precision that serious reloaders demand, each Creedmoor Sports TRX-925 comes standard with three F-1 class calibration weights (2g, 10g and 50g). These precision grade weights are machined from stainless steel, and each come in its own protective storage case. The inclusion of the three weights and the multi-point calibration process developed by our team, allow reloaders to calibrate at their normal range of operation, which serves to ensure charge weights are consistent over time.

The Creedmoor Sports TRX-925 Precision Reloading Scale works with a level of precision offered only by a select few scales on the market. To do this, our scales are produced in an ISO9001:2008 approved facility and utilize laboratory-grade electronics. The TRX-925 also includes an anodized static-free powder pan, which has a 925 grain maximum capacity, and comes with a modular draft shield. The backlit LCD display allows the user to reload easily in overly bright, or low-light conditions without eye strain.

While the TRX-925 is a new addition, Creedmoor Sports has a long history of supporting the needs of precision shooters. Headquartered in Anniston, Alabama, Creedmoor Sports has over 40 years of experience in the shooting sports industry, with competitive and precision shooting being the core focus. We offer a complete line of Creedmoor Sports branded products as well as other leading brands within the shooting sports industry.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

From 1920 until the mid-1950s, full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets remained the epitome for high power competition. Handloading was not common, so competitors relied on government arsenals for match-grade, .30-06 Spr. ammunition for use in the National Matches and other shooting events. Arsenal match ammunition was considered state-of-the-art and was perpetually in short supply. Ammunition lots performing particularly well were carefully hoarded, traded and fired judiciously. Naturally, government arsenals made what they knew best and had tooling for—FMJ bullets.

By the mid-1950s, improved match rifles were better than arsenal ammunition. This dilemma spurred improvements in ammunition and led many competitors into handloading. Sierra Bullets began offering match-grade, hollow-point boattail rifle bullets which offered significantly improved accuracy over FMJ bullets. As records tumbled, hollow-point boattail bullets increasingly ruled high power competition.
