[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2630673, member: 71817"] Whenever I had reason to start to question what my scale was doing I used calibration check weights, cheap and easy. Puts your mind at ease. search Amazon for 7pc calibration weights ( 1g, 2g, 5g, 10g, 20g, 50g, 100g) That's grams not grains. You have to do the math to apply it to your scale and they are less than $8.00 for a set. I use RCBS 5-10 scale. I've had the same one since 1969 when I started reloading. At one point I had problems with it, Ebay had a couple of used 5-10's for sale I picked one up for $35. I called RCBS about my other 5-10's problems and they told me to clean the V-grove knife blocks. Denatured alcohol and Q-tips. never any oil or lubricant, it attracts dust and dirt in the air and compromises performance. I did the cleaning and the scale has worked perfectly ever since, I clean it from time to time. I also suggest a cover for the scale, to keep dirt and dust off of it. [/QUOTE]
