I have had a set of Lee Powder Dippers for years. I use them now for speeding things up with my Lyman DPS 1200 Electronic Powder System. Rather than letting the machine fill the entire charge, I'll select a dipper that throws about 5 or 7 grains less than I want, then let the machine top it off exactly. It's amazing how close of a charge the dipper throws if you get a consistant method. Bill T.
