2. Buy a check weight or make one and periodically check when loading. It doesn't need to be any precise weight (a small stainless washer bent in half at 90*), just something you know the weight of that's close to your charge weight, especially when using a digital scale.

Even cheaper mechanical beam scales are surprisingly accurate, repeatable and reliable. I use a web cam hooked up to a laptop to read the scale on mine. I also brought the pointer to a sharper point and colored it. Way easier on my old eyes.

I also recently bought a Ohaus SPX123 used on Ebay for $130. If it was ever used it wasn't much. I plan to use it mostly for loading my 6x47 ammo for long range. You can find deals there if you keep your eyes peeled.
You got me to thinking , I fish and have Tungsten fishing weights from 1/32oz up to 2oz so weigh them record weight and box them for later.
