I don't know if there is a specific temp, but I do mine in a climate controlled room and leave it on warming for up for a few hours before I load.
Run off some charges at various temps and then weigh them back at various temps. Then log all the data and post here. You could become an authority on the topic.
It’s 66 degrees here in my shed now it would be warmer but I loose some heat due to the north wind seeping around the door I leave the scale turned on most of the time especially if I know I’m going to be using it soon
After I was done loading 50 rounds last night the temperature had dropped from 66 degrees to 60 degrees I recalibrated my rcbs chargemaster lite and rechecked some charges were all good I then charged 3 cases one with 40.0 grns the next was 42.0 then 43.2 the temperature was 60 degrees I went out this morning I left the scales on all night the temperature outside was 24 degrees F I calibrated the scales and reweighed the 3 cases and all 3 measured the same at 24 degrees that they did at 60 degrees I left the brass charged and I’m going to check it again tomorrow when it’s supposed to be warmer but it’s good to know that I could load in colder temperatures though if I had to
