Inline, every-round weight inspection at loader speed, with the data to prove it.
Weight inspection systems
AccuWeigh Series
Every round weighed to a tenth of a grain. Nothing out of spec leaves the building.
The number one concern of every ammunition manufacturer is shipping out-of-spec ammunition. AccuWeigh virtually eliminates that risk. It weighs every projectile, case or loaded round to within a tenth of a grain at up to 3,600 parts per hour, and anything outside your limits is pulled from the line before it reaches a box.

Six times the throughput of hand weighing
Weight catches what the eye cannot: a missing primer, a light or heavy powder charge, a wrong or defective projectile, damaged brass. Set your high and low limits as tight as 0.1 grain or as wide as ten grains for large rounds, and AccuWeigh sorts pass from fail without anyone watching a scale. Used as a sorter, it drops parts into as many bins as you need: brass and projectiles by weight class for match loading, loaded rounds by total weight for boxing.
AccuWeigh was designed and built by ammunition manufacturers using Six Sigma methods. The patent-pending firewall logic means a defective round can never be passed as good. Fed by an AccuFeed collator or a Dillon-style case feeder, it runs on its own; connected to a loader, it catches a bad run as it happens instead of after a whole lot is loaded.
- Accurate to 0.1 grain with a high-precision load cell
- Patent-pending firewall technology: no defective cartridge or component is ever passed as good
- Pass and fail as standard; unlimited bins for sorting by weight class
- Fed by an AccuFeed collator or a Dillon-style case feeder; catches out-of-spec rounds as a loader makes them
- New simplified interface with one-touch operation, user access levels and a manual weigh mode that needs no setup
- Stores up to 25,000 preset configurations and a record of every part weighed
- Six Sigma compatible data output; optional remote data feed to a central system
- Control computer and software included, free software updates, one-year parts warranty
- Modular design for expansion and future upgrades
- Compact, high-performance and reliable; designed and assembled in the United States

Who runs it
Match and specialty loaders
Sort brass and projectiles into exact weight classes and load match-grade rounds from standard components.
Contract and defense loaders
A documented, repeatable inspection step that stands up to an audit.
Questions we get
What does weight inspection actually catch?
Missing primers, light or heavy powder charges, wrong or defective projectiles, and damaged or wrong brass. Each shows up as a weight outside your limits for that cartridge.
Can it sort, not just pass or fail?
Yes. Set as many weight classes as you need and it drops each part into the matching bin. That is how brass and projectiles are sorted for match loading and how finished rounds are boxed by weight.
Can it run inline with my loader?
Yes. Fed from the loader's output it pulls out-of-spec rounds as they are made, so a bad setup is caught in the first rounds rather than the whole lot.
How does it make match-grade ammunition cheaper?
Sort brass and projectiles to a tenth of a grain first, load them with a known charge, then weigh the finished rounds and box like weights together. The result is match consistency from standard components.
Need more than 3,600 parts an hour?
Ask. Cabinets with more than one weigh module are quoted for lines that need higher throughput on a single inspection step.
