I leave mine, RCBS Chargemaster, plugged in an turned on all the time. My basement and the city morgue are about the same temperature. The only thing that it doesn't like is when I turn on the heater and it warms up. It works fine after it stabilizes though. Mine has never been more than .1 grain off.

Bill,
I have tried a couple of digitals - not the most expensive but the two that I tried were not impressive. I tested them using a fixed charge of 55 grains of powder as measured on a well calibrated triple beam scale of known quality. (its mine and it is accurate)
when i weighed it with my beam scale it was within .05 grains every time. On the digitals it would vary from 51.8 to 56.3 grains when it finally settled down. I recalibrated the electronic scale, rezeroed it, after warming up for twenty minutes and got the same accuracy. I tried weighing two charges with the electronic scale and then weighing them on my triple beam. Doing this a total of five times (for a total of 10 charges) I got the same (well similar) results. Not only would the e-scales not weigh consistantly they were not accurate to start with. I am not going to say which of them I tried but I will tell you neither of them was the RCBS scales.
I was wondering if you had ever done this kind of test with your electronic scale. I wonder if anyone using them has done this kind of testing with them. Even using a standard reloading scale I wonder what the results with the different scales is.
