[QUOTE="Brian49, post: 1312058, member: 16014"] I don't have anything to add to what has been said in previous posts, but what I didn't see and maybe with newer electronic scales this isn't an issue. I have an RCBS Micro Pro scale and through experience have found that the scale reading drifts anywhere from 2 to 4 tenths over time. I reload a lot as from Feb thru August I burn a lot of 204 and 22-250 shooting Belden gr squirrels. I recalibrate every time I start a session or after about 45 minutes because of the drift. When I calibrate the scale it checks out with test weights and reads the same as my balance beam, but by the time I've put BL-C (2) in twenty cases weighing every charge on the balance beam which doesn't take long the scale drifts low. I live 10 minutes from the RCBS plant and have asked about drift, their only recommendation is to use a dryer static sheet under the scale. So for along time I only use the electronic scale to dial in the powder dispenser and double check the balance beam setting. [/QUOTE]
