[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 637986, member: 25383"] if your having problems with the zero weight changing, look around you for a draft of cold air or hot air. Also make sure the scale is setting level (all need this). Some guys complaign about flourecent lights bothing them, but have yet to ever see that issue. I did find that I had an isse with vibration a few years ago, and the fix was really easy. I bought a piece of marble tile at Lowes and glued three pieces of foam rubber to the bottom side (I used the rubber inserts that came in blank CD boxes [look like a doughnut]). The Harrell is a very well made powder measurer, but is not for most folks honestly. It dosn't do stick powder any better than the others. Volume wise I think mine will go to 60 grains max, but most of my weights are less than that. Seems like they either have a 120 grain one or a 90 grain one out now, but you'll still have to trickle powder with sticks. (mine will do 3031 or 2015BR at about +/- 1.5 grains, but a lot worse with the others). Honestly my old Lyman #55 is **** near as accurate, but I wanted the Culver insert. Also everything is measured in clicks, but it does repeat settings extremely well. But I also seldom drop more than 50 grains of powder in mine. I would like to get my hands on a Belding & Mull someday, as it's the best out there for large stick powders. gary [/QUOTE]
