I'm sorry if I pissed you off, not intended! You only mentioned the broken poise lock and the calibration weight check in your last post so how could I know. I did understand you trimmed the paint run off early on in your flustration, and still got unsatisfactory results. Given the information that you had relayed at the time I would come to you with the same response I did before. If you feel the scale is defective by all means contact Lee, or the Store where you bought it. I agree with some others who caution you against the digital scales,they are not as user friendly as a ballance beam. I have a Dillon and it drifts callibration often, a real pain in the a$$, but I've learned how to watch the scale and identify when it has drifted. I have my ballance scales loaned to other family members so I must live with the Dillon, though I'm thinking of a Lee balance beam for backup. Good luck, once you get the buggs outof your settup, you are going to have a ball, reloading is almost as much fun as shooting. Glenn
