Gem Pro 250 vs beam scale?

I use a Chargemaster to meter my powder and then trickle to where i want on a beam scale. Do you guys think I can still use it without interference using the GEMPRO?

you're asking of personal opinion I would say you need the Gempro
 
What im asking is can I continue to use my chargemaster for a meter and do the final trickle with the gem pro? Ive heard some people say they its not a good idea to use two electronic scales very close to each other because of interference

All the 250 users on here. Any data to support if the scale helps bring ES/SD down? Or even group size? I have seen one or two posts online that said it helped bring them down and one saying it was same as the balance beam.

I have been using an Acculab VIC-123 (a/k/a Denver Inst. MXX-123 and Sartorius AY-123) for about two years now. I just got myself a Gempro 250 for Christmas, mostly because the VIC-123 drifted like crazy.

This past weekend I loaded a set of match ammo for the first time with my Gempro. It definitely drifted much less than the VIC-123, and that allowed me to load faster.

I went and shot a 1000yd F-class match with that ammo the next day. The vertical was about the same as before (i.e. pretty good, most shots w/in 1/2 moa), the wind was nasty, switchy, gusty, and from more-or-less head-on so a few shots went low or high but it wasn't anything I didn't expect from the conditions.
 
I noticed with my scale when weighing anything above 100gr it will read 0.2 after I take the item being weighed off. No matter how gentle or fast I take it off the scale. Just have to tare it and do the next one. This is with it weighing to 0.02 increments(0001 mode). Doesn't do this when weighing in 0.05 increments(0002 mode).
