So my scale is currently biting the dust. (I've got a scale thread on here too) but haven't had the time to go purchase/ order one. But I do have some dippers in my die sets... I've been dying to load but just can't bring myself to use them without a scale I trust to check them against...my scale isn't dead but its began to drift severely and lose zero and need constant calibration...what are your thoughts?
Electronic scale?

Without a scale to check with, I would not stray from Lee's charts.

When I bought my dipper set, I measured through the range. 10 dips with each dipper, recorded and cross checked with a scale. My recollection is, there was not much variation, but (as Unclenick notes here) charges tended to be slightly below what Lee's chart listed for weight.
