What's the coolest temps the Chargemaster can be used at? The instructions only say to keep from freezing temps and to allow the unit to be room temp when in use. Right now, my reloading area in our unheated basement is ranging 40-45*F. Will it still run reliably at these temps?

I'm only guessing but I think you will be alright. Since it is AC powered you won't have any variance in voltage because of the temperature being low so I would rule that out as an issue. The room temperature I would think they just don't want the scale to be 40* and the room 75* as the scale could gradually change it's opinion of what was zero as you load, if you check zero often this shouldn't be an issue either. I say as long as the room is 45 and the scale 45 you should be fine. Your fingers may get chilly and disagree though!

My Chargemaster is in my garage. I use it in the summer and winter. No issues whatsoever in the heat and cold.

OK, thanks guys. Took the .243 out Monday to empty a few loaded cases that hadn't turned out well (a coyote wouldn't notice the difference, though). Got my CF fever up and need to load a few rounds for it. The good loads had shot to 1/4MOA and I'd like to see if that can be duplicated in cold weather. It was 13*F on Monday when sighting in the ML's for new bullets (thanks again, Luke), and 45* feels a LOT better than that!
