FX-120i observations

I got to looking at how it reacted with various powders when I first got it, depending on the powder, I just don't worry about a .98 or a .02 reading most of the time anymore. Sometimes, depending on mood, I'll pour a bit of powder into a cup and use a Lee scoop to add 1 or two granules, or take 1 or 2 out. And then question my sanity as to why the hell I am worrying about 1 or 2 100ths of 1/7000th of 1 lb.
^^^^^
 
I was spinning out varget yesterday with mine. 1 kernel is .02. I just pull out or add a kernel and fix it to be right on the money. Makes me feel happier.
 
FWIW, I have three 4 ft LED lights in my reloading/work area. They come with a built-in switching power supply that supplies 48vdc. So, to avoid the possibility of the switchers causing any interference with the FX I removed them and made my own linear 48vdc supply. A little bigger than needed but it’s up in the ceiling out of the way.

ItchyTF, would you post a video of your rig finishing 2 or 3 loads on its current tune?
Does it matter what powder type (ball, flake, short stick or long stick)? Also, how much trickling do you want go see? In other words, how far from target weight should the main throw be?

Varget would be a nice in the middle. .3 gr of trickling would be an easy target for my thrower to hit.

Thanks for taking the time.
