Thread: Balance scale calibration

I agree with whats been said but due to the difference between my electric and beam scales I've ordered a set of test weights. My been scales did slightly alter ( not as bad as electric do)but an email to rcbs and a free set of agate bearings are on there way. apparently they wear and mine is a very old set. Great customer service. What I also do once I settle on a load I search my boxes of nuts and bolts until I find a nut close to that weight and then without altering the scales from the loads weighed I file the nut until it matches the powder weight and use this each time for calibration of that load for that caliber or bullet weight. I write on each with a marker so I know what each one weighs. As has been said it doesn't matter if your scales read different to another as long as you load the same for each batch
