^^ Good advice, and putting the scales at eye level is a good suggestion, never thought of that... The main issue I'd have with electronic scales is sensitivity to temperature changes. I'm banished to the garage for my reloading and I'm sure that would bean issue. Heard good things about the Targetmaster.
I spent some time in the past double checking the loads dispensed by my RCBS Chargemaster Combo with my RCBS 5-0-5 scales.
The Chargemaster's displayed weights were invariably at or very close to (as in well under 0.05gr) the weight set on the 5-0-5.
Nowadays I might check the occasional load but don't feel it's needed except to assuage my inner OCD. :)
