MAYBE that depends on the powders you use. My experience was just the opposite. I use more 'large extruded' powders than any other. I threw my Lee dippers in the trash.

I have never used or trusted scoops. Just me.

Dippers are convenient to measure powder quickly with a scale. Use an appropriate volume dipper to scoop most of the charge into the powder pan, then trickle the last few grains. Of course, the other quick method is to throw charges with a powder measure.

As for the subject of this thread, I'd add a set of check weights to the list of useful items worth their cost. You can check your scale over the entire range of measurements with them.
