I am a dipper devotee, but you do need a scale to check your charges. The beauty of dippers is that there are no moving parts, and once you figure out what your charge weight is you can put the scale away. I tend to scoop. The key is to use the same technique every time you scoop. Richard Lee recommends pushing the dipper bottom first into the powder and letting the powder fall into the dipper and swiping off the dipper to level with a card or some straight edge. I find that throws a light charge from the chart weights. You can make you own dippers with old brass and wire to a custom volume or buy the cheap Lee Precision set. I have two, one standard and one for volume modification. You can fill in the bottom or cut off the top-end to get the right charge weight. There is no safer way to reload but you should get a scale, I hate using scales so that is one reason to use dippers.
