Well fall is comming up so I thought I better start making a list of supplies and I pulled out my Dillon scale an and made sure it it was ready and I zeroed it and put a 5 grn check weight in and it was ok then I put a 20 grn in and it read heavy so I looked it over and every thing looked fine so I checked it over again and same thing happened. I thought I better start looking for a new scale As I was reading on the new scales a word jumped up and slapped me, the word was magnetic and it dawned on me that I had my tumbler going and it was about 6 inches away from it. I went back to my scale and checked it. yep it was ok. I guess the motor was giving off a magnetic field or may be the vibration of my tumbler.

I suspect both a magnetic field from the tumbler motor and the vibrations are the cause of your scale issues. Thanks for posting here so others can avoid the same problem.

I have a question about my scale also. When I use the 50g check weight with my scale it almost always will read 50.01. It does it even when I calibrate the scale. Is this normal or is my check weight slightly heavy.
Thanks

Most likely your check weight is slightly heavy. This is not uncommon at all, and won't affect the accuracy of the scale.
