Things I'm glad I bought:
Check weight set. It makes verification of the electronic scale quick and simple.
Micrometer Powder Bar Kit from UniqueTek. It's not for everyone, but since I tinker with a variety of loads and calibers, it saves a lot of time adjusting the powder measure...
I understand the OP's question and curiosity, and it may have nothing to do with envy. When I bought my Springfield TGO1, a friendly old timer at the shop commented that I should shoot a few rounds through it then put it away except for special occasions.
I replied with a smile, "No way: I'm...
Similarly, my most accurate was 3.4g with 3.2 coming in a close second. Different day, maybe different favorite. I use the softer lead, 12 brinnel and have no problems that others seem to have. No leading, no scorching, very little smoke, accurate.
I'd start by putting a drop of oil on the disconnector tip, letting it seep along the sides, to see of that works. It might be as simple as that since more rounds might burnish the tip as needed.
I like to try the simple stuff first.
And to expand on this: it's the shape of the tip; not rounded or ramped enough to let the breach slide over it, pushing it down.
FWIW, the position of the slide in the OP is exactly where it would stop if the disconnector was causing the stoppage.
I'm in the "don't really notice it" group whereas my wife can't stand it from 20 feet away.
Now I wonder what the results of that test mean? :confused: :D
The correct labels for my template are Avery Removable Print/Write Labels, 1 x 3 Inches, White, Pack of 250 (5436), Not what I originally listed. Sorry if this caused any confusion.
I use removable labels to stick to previously used ammo boxes scrounged from the range and an editable Word template that I made up. I just edit it as needed.

True, but the OP is not the only audience. I have gain a lot of information from the diversions in a thread. For example, I was wondering if I would have problems shooting lead at 357 mag loads.
Still, it can be frustrating for the OP if no one answers his question specifically.
I put mine in boxes bullet down. In the rare circumstances that the primer is not correctly seated, it's obvious. Usually I can feel when it doesn't seat right and address it immediately.
Mine seems to be similar. There are a couple turns of threads into the toolhead, but not enough to make contact with the plastic spacer that provides some tension. It is easily turned with fingers.
I just mark the seating die with a mark to let me know if it moves. I've considered adding some...
I'm curious about what the "high quality" digital scale that you plan to invest in will do that your Frankford Arsenal scale doesn't do?
FWIW, like you, I use an FA scale. I calibrate it each session, and periodically confirm the reading with check weights. It's been very reliable.
I'd sort them by weight, then use my judgement based on differences. 4 grains is quite a difference, so should be noticeable. Start by testing the consistency of brass and bullet weights. If pretty consistent, do the math to calculate what the round should weigh and go from there.
