Lee Powder Dipper Chart
Lee Powder Dipper Chart - The #20 and the #39 have this feature which throw different volumes but aren't listed on the chart. Are the powder dippers accurate enough to use for test rounds? I don't think i would want to run a flake powder through it but small charges of titegroup(under 3.0 grains) work fine. The history is well documented, lee went out of business, and he started over. I was looking for a chart for the old dippers, to compare the volume to the new yellow cc dippers. Anybody have the red and black to make a comparison and let me know
It had smaller volumes than normal powder disks. I wanted to try about 34 grs h4895 with a 150 gr bullet (.309). For years, i used my lee dippers to measure rifle charges. The formula is ((old dipper #)/0.061024/1000) and if you compare the cc, indeed you discover that the volume of the old dippers falls between the volumes of the new ones. Are the powder dippers accurate enough to use for test rounds?
I have the new yellow and the older red. I'd pick a dipper that charged a bit less than my intended weight, then trickle to zero on my scale. I have one that is made by someone else and it works fine for small loads of fine powders. I will post a pic later. Lee had the al powder dippers.
By the way the older red dippers have different dippers on opposite sides of each dipper on the two smallest ones. I don't think i would want to run a flake powder through it but small charges of titegroup(under 3.0 grains) work fine. My powder holder is/was a teacup, probably 3/4 full, replenished when the level got low. I used.

This is what i did: If you use the yellow dippers, try to get a old red set to use with the yellow set that is a quote from an archived thread.

I would not use this type data without scale to check actual weight of a few throws.

Seldom used them, because i couldn't figure out how. And the formula is ((cc of dipper)/(vmd of the powder)). Lee had the al powder dippers in the first lee loaders had a red wood handle. I'd pick a dipper that charged a bit less than my intended weight, then trickle to zero on my scale.
The #20 And The #39 Have This Feature Which Throw Different Volumes But Aren't Listed On The Chart.
My powder holder is/was a teacup, probably 3/4 full, replenished when the level got low. The kit's chart/scale reads 2.5cc for 34 grs. I'm not looking for accurate loads, just safe ones. Anybody have the red and black to make a comparison and let me know
