new to reloading; scale help - 04/02/17
so i bought the RCBS explorer plus kit a few months back cause the price was right. Ive finally gotten around to using it some and am extremely disappointed in the scale that comes with it (1500 grain pocket scale). Now rcbs advertises that it is accurate to +/- .1 grains but so often it needs rezeroed or jumps a couple tenths from one granule of powder. Also if my cellphone or ipad is nearby it will interfere with it. Are these all things that are pretty typical of electronic scales or is it simply the very entry level ones?
Are the cheaper (505/502 etc.) beam scales any more accurate or is it simply a mental thing that i think that it would have to be? I am reloading for precision not to save money but my pockets arent real deep so i dont really want to drop $100 on a scale that isnt any more accurate than what im already running. TIA
