Well I am finally shifting from IMR 4227 to the Blue Dot I picked up a while back. With 4227 I could use the dipper squared off with a straight edge and get charges that were very consistent. Blue Dot in my early testing has shown more variation with this method. However I usually use a dipper either a LEE or one I made out of cartridge brass dumped into the pan of a scale and topped up to hit the desired weight. I have in my back yard a 150 yard range split up in three distances and often work up loads using the same 5 pieces of brass. Heck I just bought a Remington Model 7 in 223 and 1000 Speer 45 gr. semi points to help me burn the Blue dot up. Hope it serves me as well as it has you.
