  Reloading isn't that precise; you aren't running a laboratory where you have to weigh a gnat's eyelash.
  
  Take one match bullet. Label it or put it in a labeled container. Use that as your one check weight.
  
  For years and years I used a 52-gr .224" match bullet as my check weight because it was close to the maximum powder charge I use. If I zeroed my beam scale at 52.0 grains with that bullet, it was more than good enough.

  I use a Lyman set bought when on sale.
  The Lyman set is less expencive than RCBS.
