Another issue I ran into today was with my Lyman powder Scale.
I wanted my charge weight to be consistent at 37.6gr of H4350, but kept running into some issues between my powder trickler and scale keeping zero-tare.
First, I would dump a charge and empty it into the tray and use a powder trickler to add the last few 0.1's of a grain into it. What I found is that when I used the powder.trickler slow and steady, the weight wouldn't change. But then, I'd pick up the powder tray and reset it on the scale and it would be 1-2 grains too heavy all of the sudden. Best I could figure was that the small incrental additions were too small to register, but when I reset the whole tray it was able to ready the whole new weight correctly. Which, if this is the case, what is the point of a powder trickler?
Whenever this happened, it seemed like my scale would lose its zero altogether, but that Lyman 1500 microtouch would periodically lose zero for seemingly no reason.
I did the calibration steps when I turned it on but I frequently had to keep rezeroing and check weighing every round...gets annoying when this thing is supposed to be accurate to within 0.1 grains.
Anyone have any suggestions or faced this issue before?

Possibly a voltage issue. Recently read about using either a uninterrupted power supply or some other device to “regulate “ the power supply. If I can find it again I will link it. Google probably has the answer
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Anyone have any suggestions or faced this issue before? Had a lyman scale years ago with same issues. Too many issues to trust it. Got rid of it.

What did you replace it with? If the same issue persists even when using the cord and plugging into the outlet than I'm going to switch it up.

How do you like the chargemaster? I use a balance beam because of issues I've heard with various digitals.

How do you like the chargemaster? I use a balance beam because of issues I've heard with various digitals. It's been great. Just make sure you use it in a controlled environment without fans. My loading room is a conditioned room off my garage but sometimes I like to open the garage door and the door to my room when the weather is nice. Tried it while using the Chargemaster and it had issues with under/over throws. Closed the door and worked just fine.

Fantastic, I may go in that direction

Before I bought Dillon I used a Lyman Orange crush press Hornady scale and Rcbs trimmer. So I was multicolored before it was cool. Then I got my Blueness on.

I couldn’t stand the slowness and inconsistency of a balance beam scale. I bought a Chargemaster and have been happy ever since.

I'm a winning lottery ticket available from getting the $900 model, so probably looking more towards the mid-tier if the features are worth the $$$.

I don’t know if they even offer that one anymore.

Mine is the older 1500 model which is discontinued. Don't waste money on the $900 model, get a Chargemaster Link model which sells for around $300.
