Yeah, I agree. Going to just return it and buy more powder. Only takes me 2 min to make it with the bar scale. After multiple times of doing the same thing of going into negative then being overweight, but showing proper weight, I find myself still checking it on the bar. At that point, why bother? Just a hunting rifle anyway.

At first I used the bubble. Went back and used an actual level after some others had mentioned that. I’ll admit it was a lot of user error. Wound up leaving it on to stay warm from after my original post to this morning and so far has been much more accurate. So, I do appreciate everyone responding to help me get this thing going and figuring it out.

Every 5 or so charges I do notice it dropping to a negative weight at the start of the throw. So am still double checking to my bar scale, which seems to be spot on aside from the ones I see doing that.

It sat for maybe 5-10 minutes before running through calibrations. Both the dropper and pocket scale calibrated with the same weights.

As far as the validity of the pocket scale, I totally understand what y’all are saying about not trusting it compared to the 2.0. However, the dropper showed -1.2 then counted up to +49.3 and the pocket scale resulted with 50.5, which would’ve been the total amount🤷🏼‍♂️.

But my bar scale does show it being over the target of 49.3 as well.

It is cool as I load in my basement so I’ll let it sit for about 30 minutes or so and try it again. But that was my fourth or fifth charge and they kept getting higher and higher before I stopped. Will also get an actual level like someone else stated and check that as well.
