    Had a freak out session today when my reloading scale wouldn't hold zero, it kept drifting and a 168gr bullet was weighing 272gr, even after calibration with a 20g weight.

    Turns out, the scale was just cold.

    I've never heard of it happening before, didn't even know they were temperature sensitive. I operated with it all winter in my garage, even when it was cold out there it calibrated and held zero perfectly.

    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.

    Howdy ho's and Mr Belly!
