I was going to load some cast boolits into some 30/30 A.I.
The load was to be 35 gr. of RE 15 with a 160 gr Lee.
I use a Dipper and weigh each load on both my electric scale and my balance beam scale to double check.
Today after I zeroed out both scales the electronic scale was reading .5 grains heavier than the balance beam. I disassembled the balance beam, cleaned it up really well, checked the bearings and the send that sit on them. I made sure everything was super clean and still had a .5 difference.
I didn't recalibrate the electronic scale due to the fact that I knew that I wasn't going to be able to stay out there much longer because of my health.
Tomorrow evening I'll be going to recalibrate the electronic scale and compare the weights again. In retrospect I should have taken a calibration weight and checked both scales to see which one is lying.....
