    cheap Aliexpress digital scales are rubbish.

    almost all of the "cheaper" "reloading brand" scales are Aliexpress ones with a 300$ label added to it. - overpriced rubbish

    All new beam scales are manufactured in china... rubbish.

    lee... rubbish


    That leaves:

    Living with the fact that your scales are inaccurate and ignore the problem. Many "experienced" reloaders do just that and convince themselves their reloads work just fine (many do, some don't but fail to admit it or blame other factors)

    Cheapest usable scale is an old (non china manufactured) beam scale, second hand from somebody. However if the knife edge is damaged it might not be reliable either. Bit of luck involved.

    Some very expensive "reloading" scales are workable, but also overpriced for what they are.

    Also expensive but at least up to the task are labratory scales in the 0.1 mg range

    The perfect reloading scale does not exist. all are trade offs. There is a reason why "prometheus" and "auto-trickler" are a thing, and those two also have serious shortcomings.
    johnd and Tech like this.
