Lee powder measures?

[Ol` Joe]

Now don't laugh. I have been using their dipper cups for years. What I do is pick a dipper close to, but just under, the charge weight I want to weigh and use it to throw an approximate charge onto the scale then use a powder trickler to bring it into balance. Surprisingly, if you are careful with always dipping in exactly the same fashion, I have found that even the cups can throw fairly consistent charges. I don't trust them though for throwing anything approaching maximum charges. I use them only for starting off in the ballpark.

Dovehunter, I`ve been doing this ever since I started loading. My dad was not the kind of guy that had the patience to play with a measure setting it only to load one box of 308 or 32spcl. He used a dipper and trickled the charge, and I just fell in the habit right along side of him. it is amazing how fast one can charge cases once you get the right dipper and a system going. I often don`t even bother with a trickler, just tap the last few kernels of powder right from the dipper.
I still have the old black and red box of dippers he used. Although they don`t have a chart for todays powders, I still use them regularly. He did, and I do however, use a measure for bulk loading
