[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 2461726, member: 113391"] Charges thrown before using the battery backup/surge protector were under by 0.03 to 0.04 grs. if memory serves. It varied depending on what other electric item(s) were or weren't drawing power at the time (furnace, dryer, washer etc.). Consequently, in some groups, rounds would touch while in others there were a lot of flyers, didn't matter what cartridge. Made a real head scratcher. So, I would throw a charge with the PACT electric scale/dispenser combo, then weigh it on my old Ohaus scale and trickle in missing grains. Yeah, my electric system really needed an overhaul, which it got. But I continued after overhaul to use the bat backup/surge all the same. Groups stayed tight using the PACT with the backup. Stopped getting on screen ERRORs. I still use my PACT even though they have been discontinued. A fact I learned about processors is that the faster a processor operates, the more susceptible it is to power fluctuations. Proper power levels probably increases the longevity of service from the gadget too. [/QUOTE]
