I've had a Hornady Auto Charge for a little over 6 months now. I really haven't used it that much, but have been doing some reloading this winter in prep for Spring and prairie dogs. I have noticed an occasional light load, by maybe a tenth of a grain, when I put the load in my beam scale. I was frustrated by this, and even called Hornady about it when I first got the unit. They wanted to blame the beam scale. Well today, I started to really investigate it and have noticed that when I weigh the 10 gram calibration weight that came with the unit I get any where from 154.2 grains to 154.4 grains. Occasionally I will get a reading of 154.5 grains. It is supposed to be 154.3, and it does read that most of the time, but not all the time. I have no fluorescent lights or any h/c vents near the scale and I do use the cover when weighing charges. I do have a speaker about 8 feet from my setup. My question is, is this normal? Am I being too anal? It really bugs me that it won't read consistently. Right now I'm ready to call Hornady, or even drive out there, even though it's about 2 hours from here.
Thanks
I'm going to edit this to also add that the display is not displaying properly. Some of the numbers cannot be seen, like it's cold or something, even though I warm it up for 15 minutes and it's 68 degrees where I am using it. Any ideas on that?
