Don't mess with your plan, get the Lee dippers. They come with a chart to tell you what each dipper will roughly dip for each powder. HOWEVER, this is only a guideline and they can be significantly off depending on your dipping technique, enough to be dangerous in some pistol rounds.

Your life/limbs are not worth the cost of a relatively cheap scale. Reloading will pay for it in a few boxes of ammo anyways. Verify each dipper's throw amount with the powder you are going to use and then you can use the dipper alone.
