I know the scale I use is good (Mettler) because a brass test weight of 50 grams registers 49.937 on it. Is it just me or have others experienced the same scenario? Possible reason?

to further explain, it is best for a patient to start off with doses around the size of a grain of rice three times per day to see how the oil effects them. Then work your way up to larger doses, three times per day to work up to doses that will equal to about one gram per day. Typically it is around three pea size doses to equal one gram. Some patients can take more, some can only handle less.
It is not actually by gram, it is more measured by cc or mL. Basically people consider 1 mL or 1 cc equaling a gram. It is close.

I have one of those brass weights too! Coincidentally the only one I have is a 50gram weight. The older nickles weigh exactly 5 grams. Sometimes they say 4.9 or 5.1, but when I stack up 10 of them it always read 50 grams on my digitals. The new nickles are lighter.
