When I first got into reloading, they were all I used, along with a scale and a trickler. I would drop a dipper full in the scale, then trickle up to the weight I wanted. Accurate but tedious in high volumes.

Then I got a powder measure. Speeds things up noticeably. However, it does take a few tries to dial in the right charge on the powder measure. So...

I still use the dippers for reloading smaller numbers. Like under 30 rounds.
