A tale of two scales.

Always remember, a good field expedient check weight is10,000 Nancy Pelosi brains equal 1/10 grain.

Kind of a generous quote for the amount of brains...

There is frankly only one solution and that is RCBS calibration weights.

Best $35 ever.

If you balance at 28.4gr then that is what the scale is. Doesn't matter what it says. It could be on a line marked "potato" or "Uzbekistan "

Doesn't matter. It is what the calibration weight says it is.

Period.

I shoot benchrest and would love a digital scale but shoot competitively with a borrowed RCBS 505 and calibration weights and a pair of tweezers to add grains of powder as needed.

I used to do that, but if I got 2-3 of the larger kernals in the tweezers, inevitably 1-2 would go flying off. Eventually went with just slightly tapping the edge of the pan to drop out 1-2 kernals at a time. Definitely made clean up easier.
