The bulk of the throws, 8-10 of 25, would weigh +.19 - .23.
This load was better than I was at 200-300 yards and would shoot cleans. I scale weighed all my 600 and beyond loads.
I bought a new Neil Jones measure some years back now but it has never been on the bench. "Popular" wisdom at the time was the Jones was a touch better than the Harrell's.
All said and done I guess I would put my BR-30 up against any scale system within reasonable price. The Prometheus, form what little I know of it, is another game and costed accordingly.

I mentioned earlier I have used four Reddings for many years. One is a regular model 3, another is a BR-30, and two are Match Grades (one setup for rifle and the other for pistol).
I bought a Harrell years ago when they had only two models (I think). The Harrell offered no advantage over the Reddings and I sold it. Perhaps the later Harrell measures are superior to the Reddings, but at this stage, I'll likely not try them as the Reddings still work very well.
