I often use a 100 gram check weight before starting my powder charging session, just to be sure calibration is where it should be that I'm getting the same measurement from one session to the next. But that doesn't seem to have any relation to the issue of drifting during a session. . . ???

This Is Why Empty Shelves And Painful Shortages Of Certain Items Are Coming

We are about to find out what happens when thousands of very popular products are suddenly no longer available for sale. A lot of Amazon shoppers have been shocked to learn that some of their

"Yes, we can build new factories, but that will take years.

It also comes with a lot of risk.

Less than four years from now, a new administration could come in and totally reverse current trade policy.

If Chinese goods started pouring back into our country at that point, what would happen to those that invested giant mountains of money into new U.S. factories?

I don’t think that we will see a huge wave of factory construction, because the risk of being wiped out when a new administration comes in is just too great."

He isn't wrong. Why invest in factories (in a recession to boot) when the next administration or the one after that reverses the trade policies OR Trump decides to do the same due to economic stresses before a company can get their ROI back?

How about moving the scale to another breaker circuit, or even move it to a friend's house, to see if plugging it into a different outlet makes any difference?

Also, have you tried recalibrating it with a known check weight?

Someone mentioned the bubble level. I have to level my scale every single time I start a new loading session - even though the scale doesn't move on its bench, the bubble will actually move very slightly when I sit down, then stabilizes. Even slight movements of that bubble manifest as .02 - .06 grains of shift.
------
If your scale's behavior remains inconsistent after recalibration and trying different power sources, I have to think there's something wrong with it. I say this because mine, kept absolutely level per its on-board bubble, is rock-solid-steady wrt drift. It's plugged into a cheap power strip and there's a 1960s-vintage fluorescent-tube lamp hovering two feet from it, plugged into same circuit.

I keep a little tag taped to the scale with last recalibration date (I bought a 100-gram class-1 check weight when I bought the scale). Last recal date was in late 2022. A couple of days ago, I got repeated "Error 0" (internal error) messages when I turned it on. This can happen if several kernels of powder get underneath the bottom tray, but this time the scale was clean. So I did the full recalibration routine, and the scale returned to its rock-steady self. Yay.

Good luck.
