I have always been handy with the lee dippers and have only occasionaly used a mechanical powder measure. And was less than impressed when I did.

They are OK with some powders, it seems. Varget measures out pretty slick. H4831 not so much.

And I don't need precision to a gnats patootie. I generally throw within .2gr +/- of targeted weight with the dippers, and am ok with that for field shooting.

I loaded 550 cases a couple of nights ago, and was wishing for a better solution. Is there a powder measure that you would trust for coarse grained extruded powders?
