I re-calibrate my scales after about every 20 ~ 30 rounds.
I actually started to laugh at this when I was loading my .243 and it was ball powder. Yep, passed on trying it there.
I use the fx-120i with a line conditioner. I also use a dust cover and never turn it off. It never drifts, unless the a/c or heater is on. I shut everything off, prior to a reloading session, check with scale weight and go to work. I know by my chrono ES that my loads are very consistent.A chargemaster or any other cheaper scale is good to about +/- .2 gn. They can be that far off and still read the target weight. My advise if you serious about lr accuracy is to pick up a fx-120i scale. It wont drift, and it will be accurate down to the individual kernel of powder. That scale has become the standard for long range competitors for almost 10 years now.

Use the Charge Master as a despenser and stop just short of the desired weight and finish with beam scale and trickler. I can not recommend the Gem Pro there are so many post on LRH about them drifting and being sent back to take up several pages. I would use the above method and save your money for the 120i and Auto Trickler. Trust me when I say it is truly an amazing machine. It took me years to save the money and get up the courage to spend it on a scale but after using it for a while I have no regrets.
It will weigh 77 gr charges for my 28 Nosler in 8 seconds to the kernel.
