I’ve been reloading with one of these for about a year and yes, once the initial bulk charge is on the scale, it will read each kernel of powder that trickles into the pan. I’m using RL16 and each kernel weighs about .03gn so it’s very easy to tell when you are approaching the target weight.
@@ynotjfagreed, I use a dropper or scoop for initial dump load, then trickle after, slow off zero was a waste of time. Bought AC batt. Adapter, and metal pans as the plastic pan(s) was causing static creep. BTW somehow with that battery adapter I'm able to keep this on for days to keep warmed up,; otherwise, the battery would last 2 days before it started freaking out
Yeah, I have the same scale and also this "problem". It looks like this scale has integrated zero tracking and, like many other in this price range, no option for disabling it. They do this to get rid of temperature induced drift, which could be interpreted as a fault by inexperienced users. The problem is, that you need a big enough initial load to get out of the range of this function. Otherwise it will automaticly tare the scale again without telling you or ever showing anything different than zero. That is why the scale will remain constantly at zero, when trickeling powder slowly onto it. As you already mentioned: The best way to deal with it, is putting a measuring cup on the scale and not taring before filling it, but writing down its supposed weight. Doing this you need to just subtract its weight to get your measurement. With this method you´re meassuring outside of the zeroing range.

Good to have your posts again thanks for the great service and time spent with my last order of loading tools.
Glad to help.
Thanks again.
My pleasure.
Thanks for the heads up on this scale. Is it sensitive enough to detect powder trickling?
Haven't tried as I don't have a manual trickler, but I imagine it is.

Where ya been? Missed seeing you in my feed... or is UA-cam messing with us?
Busy moving house basically.
Perfect timing as my Dillon has quit ;^( Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Does anyone know how to teardown this mini scale?
I have a similar one but it won't read milligrams right away I have to weigh something and then subtract
That's odd.
