Awesome review, I’ve often looked at this set but was unsure, thank you for the info! I’ve been having awesome luck with Greendot and those T&B bullets for cast.
I guess it does depend on the type of powder your using, but I've had great success and VERY ACCURATE weights by using the "level it off once with a paper card" method. It has never varied by more the one tenth of a grain!!!!! And I periodically check with a "Certified" digital scale.
If you get one of the old red or black sets (they are the same other than color) they are marked in cubic inches but if you do the math to convert them to metric they fall between the yellow dippers. I don't remember where I stumbled across that info but it makes it kinda nice sometimes being able to get closer to a charge that the standard yellow dippers won't throw. I made a chart that shows all the dippers and their capacity's in cubic centimeters and hung it in my power storage locker.
When you level with a card don’t “shave” by laying flat just hold the card vertical and skim across the top. Works well for me doing it that way. I like using some old store rewards card or old debit card
Thank you for the tips new to reloading and practiced with dippers and a scale tonight struggled a little getting a consistent weight I a sure I will do better after watching your video.
You're welcome my friend. It makes my day when I hear from folks that find my videos helpful. Once I got the knack on using dippers it made reloading go so much faster and easier.
Thanks for the video, I couldn't find any of the powders mentioned , but I did find accurate #5 and #7....haven't tried it yet, I'll be using a Rossi r92 16" barrel 38/357.... Primers will be CCI small rifle , topped up with a 158 gr lswc bevel base hard cast, lubed. I just didn't find the time to test it yet.
You’re welcome! Post back and let us know how those powders work for you. I used one lb of Accurate powder years ago, but haven’t used it since. No problem with it or anything. Don’t remember why I never bought it again. But, it seems like Accurate is the only powder I’ve been seeing lately. Might have to try it again.
Here's a question that I haven't seen answered anywhere: Has anyone used two different dippers to subtract a smaller volume from a larger one? For example (I'm just getting started with reloading .32 S&W long), if I want to get close to 2 gr of Bullseye, I could measure out .5 cc (4.7 gr), then use the .3 cc dipper to remove 2.8 gr, leaving 1.9 gr.. The dipper that came with my die set is .17 cc, which I'd consider a light load. Naturally, I'd calibrate my technique with a scale, but is this a common trick to estimate loads intermediate between the standard Lee dippers?
Excellent demonstration, great points, thanks.
Thanks for the video! Have my dipper set coming tomorrow for my 44 mag and 45 ACP

That's great information. Thank you. Now I'm on a search. Lol

Sure, I’ve used two dippers when loading shotgun loads to get the right charge. Just use one of each.
