Scale disagreement

[Drvred]

I started with a RCBS 5-0-5 scale then bought a Chargemaster Lite.
I have to add .1 grain every time to make the 5-0-5 balance.
Is .1 even enough to worry about, as long as it's consistent?

 

[Toprudder]

As long as they are consistent, it should not matter, unless you are working with really low charge weights.


This is a good reason to get a set of check weights.

 

[Drvred]

I guess I could use the ones off the CML, but they are grams

 

[Dave951]

Get some check weights, even if in grams, that's why you were supposed to have learned math in school

the base of the pan in the 5-0-x series of balance beam scales has lead shot in there for a reason........it's to adjust the zero

Yeah, sounds like maybe your balance isn’t level. Have you zero’d it?
