Dyneema under tension with a Loos gauge

I hung dumbbells from the ceiling rafters of my garage with 1/8" dyneema.
I did this with 250lbs, 220lbs, 190lbs, 160lbs, 130lbs.  Below are the pictures showing how this test registered on a Loos Gauge.  I measured 275lbs and 300lbs on 3/16.2018.  Results were consistent in Nov 2017, Jan 2018 and Feb 2018 with different dyneema line:
275 as 50,50,45,45,40,40,5
275# = 21.5

300 as 50,50,45,45,40,40,30
300 lbs @ 22.5
