    I even bring all the weighing gear inside on the dinning table to keep warm, then shoot out and seat them in the shed

    I have a lyman scale/dispenser.
    It will wander off of zero if just given the compulsory 2 or 3 min warm up.
    If I turn it on half an hour or so before using it and calibrate then zero its mint and doesn't appear to wander at all.
    Drafts/wobbly benches/breathing near scale will all give inconsistent results.
    Flouro tubes are sopost to be bad for making the power dirty or something but I reload underneath two big double tube ones and mine works fine as long as it has plenty of warm up time.

    Like others, prep one day, throw onto beam-scales and dribble to weight, 40-ish at a time, I have a robust table I bring into the lounge. My Partner grew-up around a keen hunting family (Zimbabwe), so this is totally acceptable to her. She even reminds me I need more components ! (when we are flush) I have to remind myself how lucky I am..
