You can get a Sartorious M prove digital scale for around $350. its it has a resolution of 1/100 g. But I think its overkill.My buddy has a high dollar digital lab scale and I do just as well as him with my Chargemaster and rangemaster 750 scales. A difference of 1/10 of a grain is fine.Trying to fine tune it 1/100 of a grain is overkill!
A while back Klem posted about using a ac power source for the charge master which Im sure will also work with your chargemaster lite. Mine works with a 12 V motorcycle battery that I purchased from Walmart for around $40 . Stays charged for weeks and its easy to recharge with a battery charger .
Just make sure you get the polarities right or you will fry your chargemaster.Check it with a continuity gauge ,the middle is positive.
Isolating your scale from vibrations and other things like fluorescent lights helps too.And I re zero mine every 10 charges or so.Ever since I did this I have gotten my average velocity reading of 5 groups a lot closer. +/- 10. Id like to get it +/- 5 but that may be a stretch. Anyway my groups are a little more consistent.
