I have no idea what you paid for the whizz-bang electronic scale, but a simple magnetically dampened beam scale (and a set of check weights-which you should have bought with the whizz-bang scale) would probably have been cheaper and would certainly be faster to use. Should be a next purchase priority.
As someone noted above, bullet placement is far more important than bullet diameter, shape, velocity, weight and/or sexy design.
