[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3316484, member: 15054"] Yea I was caught up in making a handle and attaching some sort of brass case to it and file the case to the needed volume. But i have a neat load that takes a tiny amount of powder 2gr of Red Dot. .3cc dipper from Lee works great. I wanted another dipper and got to thinking. How about a tooth brush. I will cut the brush off and have a roundish handle and just drill a hole into the thing. EEHHH the hole needed to be too deep for the brush to work well..and then static. I walked into the garage and seen a foam paint brush on the floor in the junked area. Dowel rod handle. I will take the used foam off and use the dowel rod. OK it is round and I can't card off on a round dowel rod. I took a flat file to the end and drilled a hole. Checked for volume and drilled deeper ..checked many times and kept going deeper until I was at exactly 2 gr. I trickle powder into the dowel rod dipper hole and measured 5 throws 4 were on the money and 1 was 1/2 of a tenth of a grain off. Good enough and way to easy. I do know humidity will swell my wood and make it a different volume. But I do not think it will change enough to matter. Zero static and it cards off really easy with a paper business card. You could make a hole on each end or offset a few holes and mark the sizes and have many on 1 dowel rod. [ATTACH=full]151415[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
