Check weights

[danny]

RCBS sells a set of check weights down to 1 gr.
For what we do, it's more about consistency than precision to a standard.

I am looking for precision to a standard for some of what I am doing, that is why I raised the question about which class of weights.

Your correct. You don't need a precise standard. If your 25 gram weight always measures the same wt. every time you put it on the scale everything is OK. If you weigh and put 35 gr of powder in a case and it's actually 35.17 it doesn't matter. All that matters is that it's always in error by the same amount every time. I made a stainless steel weight out of sheet metal and weighed it out to 4 decimals. I rounded wt. to 1 place and engraved 33.3 grains on my standard. I use it as a check wt. before any loading session. I don't care if my scale is 100% correct. All I need is for it to give the same amount of powder the same wt. every time on my scale. I'm using a beam scale. My scale would have to be damaged to give a bad reading. Not out of zero. I am not familiar how you zero an electronic balance. Is it done by pressing a zero button or somehow with a standard wt.? It's been 10 years since I occasionally used an electronic balance at work.
