Default Flint and Primer Dispenser Questions

I got an email from ToW today showing their weekly specials and such. The first couple of items were primer flasks. 3 and 4 grains.

Like the one in the link.

So my questions are;
Has anyone owned one of them?
Are they calibrated to 4f prime?
Which one would better suit my needs for my GPR and Deerstalkers?
I currently have a little primer powder horn but I can't regulate / meter out the amount of powder that goes into the pan (it is a free flow style). It would be nice to have a set amount shot to shot.

In an earlier thread we were talking about flint nipping. A few of the guy's said the flint should be a 1/16" from the frizzen when at half c0ck. I looked at ToW's flint chart and they recommend 3/4 x 3/4 flints for the Lyman rifle. This flint which I purchased in the past is nowhere near 1/16".

Should I be using the 7/8" x 3/4" flint in order to get it a bit closer to the frizzen?

Thanks,
