Does anyone use Lee' s powder dippers? Wanting to load pistol and rifle shells.

Yes, but I weigh every charge so I use them as a starting point . I find the one close to the load I want then trickle up. Hope this helps

I agree with using them like a spoon, to put the powder on the scale pan. But it would take a LOT of practice to develop a technique that would let you dip UNIFORM charges with one of these plastic dippers. And, unless you have a powder scale, you won' t know if you are doing " uniform dipping" or not! I consider an accurate powder scale to be one of those completely INDISPENSABLE implements for reloading!!

If you follow the chart that comes with them as to which powders to use them with they will work ,but It won' t be a quality load by any means .As others have said use a scale to check your powder charges ,and even your charges thrown with a powder measure should be checked on a scale .
