I was just about to start loading some ammo and noticed random repeatability issues with my AND FX-120i, it wouldn't always go back to zero, sometimes by almost a whole grain. It was working great last used 4 weeks ago before this hot muggy weather started. So I can only assume it isn't liking the 27°C and 85% humidity in here. I'm really looking forward to having a temperature controlled shop, hopefully later this week...
Anyhow, just something for you guys to watch out for as well, this usually affects most precision equipment. 20C-50%humidity is pretty ideal in a perfect world.
If it somehow turns out to be something else I'll post about it.
 
I'm planning to get a small UPS tomorrow just in case, though it never acted up before this weather of the last week or so.
 
Its usually always plugged in. At first I was worried maybe a few of the power flickers we've had lately might be the cause but I really think its just the heat/moisture.
Sadly its supposed to rain all week.
 
Just to update, we had a couple cooler/drier evenings and it was working perfectly fine as normal. Reloaded 50 rounds tuesday morning no issues.
 
It was so humid I didn't even want to open the powder containers, fearing they would suck up too much moisture. It looks like we we getting into good weather now though.
