I've been using a Swiss made laboratory grade Mettler digital scale for years.
It will measure to .001 grain, you have to watch your breath carefully. It's slow but you can't a get more accurate weigh .
You can pick up a $1500 scale used at industrial auctions for about what a new RCBS 5-0-5 sells for [once in a while],
Just make sure it works first, and has a recent certification.

Looks like just the trick, if you are willing to spend 1 hour on each cartridge you load.

So that's what I'm doing wrong and why my m14 isn't shooting 0.1 moa. Shouldn't take more than a day to load one round!

I load my Rifle Rounds with a Redding BR Powder dispenser and my Pistol Rounds with a Dillon Square Deal Press.

I used the same redding when I did BR/Varmint shooting.
I can't do anything better then what I have the way I shoot.

A Marine buddy can hit a 20 round Rifle paper box at 100 yds with his S&W 9MM with my Hand loads . He can't do it with Factory ammo.
It's not me it's just the Dillon (and his shooting).

I knew that, but I wanted to have a little fun, seeing as some folks like to weigh primers and such.

Oh well funs over.USNA

I'm glad I did not look at the linked page.

I read the first two paragraphs about the scales , I never got to the part about "Powder Kernel Uniforming " but understanding how Anal Retentive some reloaders can be, it's not really that far out .

Sick joke for those of us that have OCD tendencies and are detail oriented...

I'm a machinist and prototype builder, I know about "detail oriented".USNA

Those of you with only OD are the lucky ones.
Those of us with CDO have it hard. CDO is an extreme form of OCD where the OCD is so strong that you have to put the letters in alphabetical order!

Unfortunately, I have a short attention span too, I'd probably give up after a couple kernels of that powder lol. The two problems counteract each other completely, I'm so screwed...Now my life is starting to make sense, it's a miracle I finish anything.

So I bought a set of micro drills (Harbor Freight has a special on them), and now you say it was a joke??? What's this world coming to ...

You can use a small pin vise to hold the powder kernels.

oops...
