Titegroup is a flake powder, so it's not as dipper-friendly (consistent) as something like AA#2, but I haven't had any problems dipping it.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! Wait! it must be true it's the internet!

TITEGROUP™
As the name implies, this new spherical propellant was designed for accuracy. Because of the unique design, this powder provides flawless ignition with all types of primers including the lead-free versions. Unlike pistol powders of the past, powder position in large cases (45 Colt, 357 Magnum and others) has virtually no effect on velocity and performance. Cowboy Action, Bullseye and Combat Shooters should love this one! TITEGROUP has it all, low charge weight, clean burning, mild muzzle report and superb, uniform ballistics. Available in 1 lb., 4 lb. & 8 lb. containers.

Titegroup may start off as spherical but I can tell you those little spheres get smashed pretty flat somewhere along the line. Whether that qualifies them as a "flake powder" I will leave up to the experts. Sorry if I misled anyone...

If you have on hand or or can get some, compare Unique (flake) and Titegroup (spherical) YOU can see the difference. I imagine if you crush anything round it will eventually become a flake or (flat)

No doubt, however I did accurately answer the question about dipping Titegroup vs. AA#2, both of which I do have and use often. The flat Titegroup "pieces" (or flakes if you prefer) do not roll as easily off the dipper, and IMHO the load varies a bit more as a result.
