theres 50 pennyweight = 2 1/2 ozs 2.49 is not an imperial measurement for 2.1/2 ozs nor is 45.5 pennyweights = 2 1/2 metric scales with a graduation of a 10th of gram are very accurate. Something wrong with the scales.

Just got home from 6 days in the field. The scale in the pic is mine and the 2.49 pic the scale was set to OZ it weighted 2.50 before I washed it.. The other was set to pennyweights. I have a grain scale thats pretty accurate I have to get it out and check it against thhat.
