Thanks, Bill.
Question: What do you mean your beam scale does not hold zero? How can it not? You are measuring/comparing mass... there's no springs, etc. Mine is RCBS and you reset to zero by turning one leg up or down until it balances at zero with nothing in the pan. Now, I have noticed that, when working, my bench will vibrate and cause the balance to moved just a bit on the bench... because the bench is not perfectly smooth and level, as it "scoots" across the bench, the legs sit at different spots and different heights. My solution was to draw an outline of the scale's feet with a black marker on my bench, along with a witness mark for the leg that spins to adjust up and down. That way, if it moves (which it does) I can see it. Regardless, I recheck for zero frequently.
