It would never read the same thing twice. That juice wasn’t worth the squeeze for me. I switched to a digital scale and it’s been much more consistent. Problem solved.I don't understand how a correctly functioning balance beam scale can be inconsistent? Could you explain please? I'm always open to learning something. I've been using the same rcbs scale for probably nearly 50 years. Besides the tab on the pan breaking off and having to recalibrate for a different pan, it has always been dead nuts. I ran across the original box for it yesterday and it had a $44.00 price tag on it!
