[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3314185, member: 15054"] I have no idea on velocity but I would bet somewhere around 300 fps I will chrony it later. For this shooting I just put some powder into a glass bowl..like you get picante sauce in when you go out to eat. I just ran the scooper through the powder and dumped it into the cases. But for my accuracy work and Lee dippers I will trickle powder into the dipper from another dipper. Now you need to keep the distance between the 2 dippers the same. Do not tap the dipper or bump it against the glass rim. When you level it off do it with a paper business card.. slowly ..I place the card on the dipper and level it by rocking back and forth then I "slowly" saw the card back and forth like screeting off concrete. That has been the most accurate way for me to fill the dippers. I have good accuracy taking a case like 454 or 44 mag and trickling into it. I will pinch cases to get the volume I need. Trickle at the same distance above the case and at the same speed every time. If you trickle fast you will not have the same measurement as if you went slow.. height makes a difference also. If you find an accuracy node you can be off on the charge as much as 5 tenths of a grain and not hurt 250 yard and under loads. Now that is with a .308 running 41-42gr of powder and a short 18" barrel. I found the shorter barrel has a larger node window than a longer 22-24" barrel. [/QUOTE]
