RCBS ChargeMaster 1500

I wonder what the calibration procedure for those high-end scales is like.

Ah, and that is the right question. Anyone can throw a load cell out there and weight stuff. I threw this together playing with a "sort by weight" idea I came up with.

Every time you add spot right of the dot (decimal), it gets a lot harder to be as precise. Costs more, charge more...

That said, even RCBS is tight lipped about the 1500 as far as things we might be able to utilize to our advantage.

The load cell seems to be much bigger than most would need. 100 grams is nuts. 100 grains and a second place behind the decimal would be gooder.

My guess would be cost because of the economy of scale. In the broad picture, the reloading industry is small, and then divide that again by how many would purchase an electronic scale. It's pretty small.

Not a lot of reloaders would pay $500 for a scale, so the reloading scale manufactures have to purchase cells from what is available at the right price point. Loadcells that are used for a cooking or postage scale, etc., which is a market that they sell a thousand times more.
