I think I was about mid scale putting 2 bushels of oats. You may want to calibrate closer. What I did at first was this: I jacked up one drive wheel and I put a paper sack under the seed tube. I put in a mound of seed over that seed meter and turned the wheel (with the lift lowered so the drive was in gear) until I had seed through the meter. Then I emptied the sack and put a chalk mark on the tire. After ten turns of the tire I counted or weighed the seed. I was able to split hairs with the precision of the calibration and also to see that when I was trying to run corn through it that a couple seeds per 100 were getting split. I suspect it might treat soy beans worse than those small flat corn kernels. I calculated seed per acre based on drill spacing and ten times the circumference of the drive wheel. Ten times the circumference of the drive wheel at 7" spacing gave me so many square feet which I divided into 43560 to see how many times to multiply my one row count to get the seed per acre.
