I bought a Lyman Gen 5 dispenser a few months back.
It's almost always within +/- 0.1 grain, typically within about half of that.
I toss a charge (fine ball powder) with it, transfer to my scale (EJ-54D2) and pinch up or down if needed.
Pinching a few granules of SB6.5 doesn't take long.
Question: are there any hidden menu options for tuning/adjustment?
Here's a few charges checked with an analytic force balance scale (A&D ER-182A), readings converted to grains (X 15.43236) then weighed on my EJ-54D2.
This is NOT a normal procedure

One hand trickled charge that took a few tries, with one count error on EJ-54D
