I was loading up about 300 max charge 38 special +P for steel shooting at the range. Bagged and labeled them, and packed my range bag ready to head out the door.
Happened to look over at my RCBS beam scale. Hmm, the powder pan is wobbling around, but I haven’t touched it in a while. Wonder why that is?
Turns out the scale was right under the downdraft from the AC vent in the ceiling. The irregular breeze from the vent would cause charge weights to read as much as +/- 3 whole grains.
A fun afternoon at the range turned into a less fun afternoon getting to know my collet puller really well.
