I use the lee dippers to put the powder on my scale. I weigh every load that I reload. I don't have room for a powder measure at this time. I do use the powder measure on the Lee turret press for pistol loads If I am going to load several hundred. I aslo have the Lee 1000 Progressive loader for hand gun loading. The little critter works great. It works best if you have someone to help watch the primer feed. I have loaded countless thousands of 38 special, 9MM, 380 and 45 auto on that loader.
