Frontsight!,

I am new to the game, so check this out and see if it is valid.

When setting up to weigh charges from the measure, balance the scale to zero then gently remove the pan. This causes the end of the beam to ground out and moving the weights should not bother the scale.

Set the measure, throw a charge, put it in the pan and gently place the pan on the scale. This way the beam is not in a delicate position until actually weighing.

If the beam settles out to zero, okay. If not, then remove and empty the pan, adjust the measure for the next try and repeat.

I have tried this and every so often put the weights back to zero and place the empty pan on the scale. It very consistently settles back to zero.
