I use scale weights to check my scale. It never hurts to double check yourself or your machine.
I use a GemPro 250 scale and never check with another scale. I scoop and pour my powder and never use a thrower or trickler. I find that this is a better setup for me cause I don't load 100s of rounds at a time. I find the GemPro250 to be very quick to respond and a lot faster than my old RCBS balance beam scale.
I have a RCBS electronic scales and a jewelers scale, both of them have weights to celebrate them. The RCBS will link to my powder measure to drop a given weight of powder. This is nice for stick powder or when loading on a single station press. My old Ideal # 55 powder measures work good on ball or flake powder but not on stick. I use to weigh everything on beam scales but like everyone else you sooner or later think you need something better. You know the one with the most toys at the end wins.

You talking about the Chargemaster 1500 combo? I know folks that say they would quit reloading, if they couldn't use it. Lol
It looks like a pretty slick setup. If I loaded more, I would have one. Instead of spending money on the Chargemaster, I support my bullet buying habit at SPS. Haha
There are a couple of different iterations of the Chargemaster, the newer models seem to be quite an improvement over the originals where the scale and dispenser were sold separately.You can say that, bullets are getting out of sight. I have a buddy gunsmith that gets me my bullets at wholesale and I do his welding on guns in trade.
I had to look, yes it is a Charge master one of the older ones. My buddy just got a Hornady Lock and Load powder dispenser. It works great.
