This is a weird one, need some help 'splainin. I use a RCBS 5-0-5 scale. The zero tends to float 0.1 grain from day to day, so I always re-zero, no big deal.
Recently I picked up one of those media tumblers from Cabela's that seperates the brass from the cleaning media. I had run a load through, and sat the plastic tumbler thing on my loading bench (full of clean brass) next to the scale. What the heck, the scale just tipped?!?! Pull it away, scale zeroes. Put it back, scale tips. This is weird. I'm not touching the scale, and I'm not touching the bench. It's like the magnetic field is being disturbed, but it's not a magnetic scale- and the tub is plastic!
What the heck is going on? Subsequently I tried getting just the brass close & it didn't affect it. I tried just the plastic bucket & there it is. I tried some other plastic things I had around and nothing. I'm stupefied.
