I hate reloading

Marcel,
I have found that a flouresent light above the bench can make the scale go wonky.

JayCarver. My RCBS scale seems to drift. After it warms up for a few hours a weighed charge might read 46.0 gr on the RCBS, however weighed on the Acculab scale they range from .08 to .2 gr heavier.

I have my scale sitting on a 3 inch thick 12"x18" granite surface plate on top of a 2 inch thick laminated maple bench top. No jiggling going on here.
 
After I started to use a chronograph, I found that there is a point to which you can simply fuss too much over consistency. I have proven to myself that with proper technique, I can hit really low standard deviations etc, but for mass production target loads, if it fires, its fine
 
I am wary of electronic scales now. When measured with a beam scale my electronic scale was throwing charges up to .4 up or down, so nearly 1 grain of variation. Not acceptable for plinking loads, much less precision loads, especially considering the cost of the scale.
