    Yup,
    I ve got one whch recently started to drift its zero. Very frustrating. Its been in the same spot in the garage with no issues for 2 years and now doesnt hold zero, even after being temp stable and warming up. You can watch it drift around after calibration and a zero.
    Found out by relooking at some perfect loads which didint shoot the usual one hole. Powder loads were out bu +/-.5gr at least.
    Ill try away from any other devices. But any tips would be apprecaited.

    You could try putting ferrite beads on the power cable. They help reduce electrical "noise" coming down the power cable. They're not expensive and improved things for me. I also bought an anti static mat at the same time.

    @Jit mine went back to the wholesale who reportedly said it was stuffed, bad unit for whatever reason. Was refunded my money.
    Probably not that much useful info for you unfortunately!

    Not sure how long it had been sitting on the shop shelf but found the issue the first time I used it.

    I’ll likely just try a DI repair. Somethings off as if you touch the unit anywhere it affects the scale quite a bit. Maybe debris or dust got in there.
