New scale

Nope, I check mine with a known weight. It has never been off. Mine doesn’t need a calibration every time. In fact it’s been so long, I can’t tell you the last time I did it.
I loaded up 100 4.5 gr. .38 snake loads and just fired it up without calibration. It worked fine without all the recalibration set up. I learn something new every day.
 
I use an rcbs beam scale for measuring charge weights, and a small little cheap digital for setting up the powder thrower. Speeds thing up.

The cheap amazon digital is actually better than other reloading brand digital (Lyman and rcbs) that I have used.
 
YOLO

 
I use two of these. I measure and hand trickle onto the one and check with the other, then dump the powder into the case.

I have found it to be accurate/consistent within .+-.2 grains. I’m no ribbon charger though.

I have a 50 year old RCBS balance beam with 3 adjustment and weights that's dead on and always has been. I was sent a newer model RCBS to repair that only has 2 adjustment weights and the quality difference is very obvious. The old scale is perfect while the new scale is junk.

My RCBS 505 has been true and faithful since I got it 25 years ago.
 
I use the hornady autocharge pro that came in the kit with the press. Its worked great and no complaints here.
