Turns out, the scale was just cold. [facepalm]

No, I don't. But the sensors were cold and it wouldn't hold the calibration. Looked it up on their website and they say the optimal temperature range is 65-85*F and if it is outside that range, it will drift. The solution is to bring it to room temperature and it'll sort itself out, which it appears to have done.

I only went on their website because the scale has a lifetime warranty and I was getting the info to ship it back for my replacement.

Yea, well when you add powder to a 308 case and it doesn't even fill half the case and the scale reads 62 grains, even a beginner reloading can put 2 and 2 together.

(was adjusting my powder dropper to drop 36gr charges so I could then just trickle the last few grains for my various loads)
