[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 685650, member: 42308"] I always check and re-calibrate my chargemaster to match my balance beam scale before I start dropping powder into cases. All of my load developement was done with a simple Balance beam scale. I've found the chargemaster to be a bit finicky. I let it warm up for at least half an hour then calibrate it. The old school balance beam scale is invaluable to make certain X grains indicated is truly X grains. Gavity doesn't lie. On one occasion the chargemaster was off by 2g to the heavy side. The load I was preparing to dispense is .3g below primer signs and .6g below a sticky bolt. One can easily see the true need to verify all variables from this example, had I not double checked and zeroed the digital scale 1.7g over primer sign in that rifle could have been a serious serious serious safety issue. ymmv [/QUOTE]
