Get a little stick on rubber pad that they sell in Lowes and stick it on the bottom of the adjustable foot of your scale. Should give you another quarter inch to play with. Or build a eye level shelf that is level.

Thanks, but yours looks a lot more “pro”.
Mine looks….well, like I made it. 😂
Your wood working skills are obviously better than mine.

Set aside a weekend and attack the problem. Working around it or ignoring the root cause only delays a future problem. If it means tearing up half a room to do it, fix the problem. My scales sit on a movable shelf that can be easily leveled if needed, but my bench is level, thank goodness. if it wasn't, I'd need a tractor jack to raise the legs for any leveling.

Fixed! 6 pk. of screws $1.29, enough for all my scales twice.
Checked with check weights, spot on.
2 minutes per scale.
And a lot easier on my worn out knees.

The 510 RCBS scale is the best ever made for the money. Easy to get squared away. On the RCBS scales...once every few years pull the agate bearings or just use a Q tip and alcohol to clean the bearng points. Dust you know. We have LOTS of dust in Wyoming. Had a couple of benches like the one pictured above. I made one and bought one from a fellow when he sold me ALL his stuff. Good benches but I sold one gave one away. Bought a few work benches with butcher block tops...In fact I bought another today...lots of drawers fot storage. Hate to say it but Harbor Freight special. Momma wants my loading room to look good(and professional). So if it'll make her happy. I am putting all my presses etc on strong mount types of bases. Easy to change out

My 2 cents. Start with a perfectly level bench that is secure and does NOT move, bolt it to the wall if necessary, You can tell by pushing your press handle all the way down- if there's any movement of the bench it "ain't" secure enough. This helps with powder drops and primer drops. Mount your press and powder dispenser if applicable. (not on the machine like a dillon). Find a place for your scale on your rock solid bench, and keep it in the same place. Make sure you use a scale weight to zero. Always keep powder in a dry area. All these things accomplished -- You have a good start, The only variable is you. Now you have eliminated your variables. Just my anal two cents.

This Is The Answer !

Sit the scale on something , anything ... I have used a stack of books , a wooden block (4" X 12") anything handy ... and level/ shim the block / book stack ... Leave the scale alone unless it will not level out on a level surface .
The scale is also easier to read if it is sitting higher near your eye's ... I sit when reloading and like to have the scale sitting on something to raise it up , off the bench , to about eye level .
I found a small wooden box that is sturdy , the right height and it didn't require any shims to get the scale level on my bench ...
Elevating that scale realy helps when reading it .

I'm not sure if adding weights to the scale affects accuracy but if you can find a different "fix" ... go with the other fix .
