Re: Digital Scale Problem

jo191145, Thanks for the reply. This is a great, serious, forum. I have learned much valuable loading information just in the past few days that will be put to use. But I have taken way too much space on this topic and need to move on. I will post my question on casting as soon as I formulate an int...

Re: Digital Scale Problem

It made a significant difference for the good...THANKS! Now I need to find a way to place the scale so it is in a convenient and efficient location, but as you can see, I am in cramped quarters. I forgot the Cardinal Rule...BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER! I have a question on the lead content to use for ca...

Re: Digital Scale Problem

acloco,
This may be a duplicate reply but I don't see the first one I sent. Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that tomorrow. My station is not as stout as I thought it would be and I think I under estimate the sensitivity of these scales.

Re: Digital Scale Problem

acloco, Excellent suggestion. As you can see from the picture above, I have a sewing cabinet just to the right of the loading station and I will move the scale there and see what happens tomorrow when I conclude this loading session. My station is not as stout as it should be, certainly not near wha...

Re: Digital Scale Problem

I loaded 100 rounds of .204 and another 100 rounds of 30-06 today and the scale problem was minimal. I let the scale warm up for a considerable amount of time prior to loading, and used the ac wall adapter for power. Today, two things became apparent, perhaps because I have been paying more attentio...

Re: Digital Scale Problem

Thanks for sticking with me on this Skipper. When following your instructions and as with the past, after I hit CNTL V all I see are the letters from my Photobucket image, not the image. Maybe it will appear after I submit. Here goes. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc228/Tic-Tac_photos/Station-2...

Re: Digital Scale Problem

I will try the ac adaptor instead of batteries and left the scale on until I use it tomorrow. Wind is not a factor to my knowledge, but it is hard in this Phoenix heat not to have some cooling in the room....the movement is slight and directed away from the station. I went to Photobucket, read the t...

Re: Digital Scale Problem

I don't believe this site allows you to attach a picture, such as my loading station, but there is a single bulb 4' fluorescent fixture at 7' above my chair, and a small flourescent fixture under the shelf above the table. I am conscious of air movement, so really have to rule that out. The scale is...

Digital Scale Problem

Any suggestions as to why my Dillon digital D-Terminator readings tend to jump around? After years of loading with an OHAUS beam scale I bought the Dillon in hopes of speeding up my loading as I weigh each charge after dropping it from an RCBS powder measure. For example, if I am trying to get 41.0 ...
