I'm definitely finding that as I progress I cast fewer stinkers, and I spot more of them sooner in the process (and I do know what you mean about watching the dimple). Perhaps some day I'll get to the point where my reject rate from weighing is so low that it won't seem worthwhile. Perhaps I'll only do it during load development so I don't get some irritating flyer. Perhaps I'll be in the habit and do it all the time.
I just don't see it as being a big deal to weigh them. A little digital pocket scale that reads in grains is like $10. "American Weigh Signature Series Black AWS-100 Digital Pocket Scale" on Amazon - $9.56, free shipping if you're a prime member or order $25 of stuff.
There's some point in the workflow where I give the balls one last check before putting them in their bag. Usually it's dead time when I'm waiting for other stuff to cool so I can put it away. And instead of glance at it, drop it in the bag, it's glance at it, set it on the scale, pick it up, drop it in the bag or in the pot. The readout is instant and I just have some mental cutoff that it's either above or below and I act accordingly.
