I used an RCBS 505 beam scale for the longest time.Accurate but tedious.Recently setup a sm camera and a monitor,to make that process easier.
Got an RCBS battery operated Rangemaster digital for weighing bullets and brass a while back when Midway was closing them out for $50.It has been money well spent.
Also got an RCBS Chargemaster around that same time for just $299.It is very sensitive to even the slightest vibrations and to electrical frequencies,such as fluorescent lights.
I have built a shelf above my bench that is attached to the wall.and my chargemaster scale sits on it.I had a power filter I use for my stereo amp which I plug it into.
If I need great accuracy,Ill use my 505 beam.But,if I just working up loads or everyday practice I will use the charge master.As long as I zero it ever 10rds and recalibrate it every 50.It does well.
My goal is to chronograph 100 rds of the exact handloads w/Magnettospeed and have them be within +/- 12FPS avge.
Ive had 5 and 10shot groups within 10FPS.Hard to keep it close without spending over $1200 on a scale.
