[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2941466, member: 15054"] Yes those are Lee Dippers. [URL]http://www.midwayusa.com/product/943305/lee-improved-powder-measure-kit[/URL] For light recoil close up loads I used that .5cc and 231 or sometimes bullseye powder with cast 200 gr bullets in my 45 colt. Great for kicking cans around the yard. I made other dippers from pistol cases to match the weight on the scale.. I ended up trickling into the dipper to overflowing and taking a paper business card and level it off flush. This would give me the most consistent results. Takes way to long to load pistol if I must weigh every one. But like I said I tested the dipped loads vs weighed and the dipped were more accurate many times. I use a lee disc measure for my 45acp.. and Bullseye powder .. it will never vary more than 1/2 a tenth. I use an rcbs uniflow II that I polished for my BL-C(2) powder it sticks it right on the same tenth of a grain every time. That is for my .223. I toss a pan full and onto the 505 beam to weigh it. then into a case. After over 100 times weighing and getting the same exact measurement I only weigh 3 or so now.. and inspect cases while they are in the loading block. Do you have a good loading block for the 45 colt? [/QUOTE]
