The concave bottom of a beverage can should do it. Make a dipper by cutting down a large caliber cartridge case until it pours a one ounce dip. A standard Lyman dipper pours ~2 ounces depending on the fill.

I bought a LEE 12 cavity RB mold for that reason,40lbs of rad shop solder
Why not just pour the molten tin from a ladle, directly into a bucket of water, then you'd have something like shotgun shot. You would have almost infinite measuring capabilities.
A member gave me a damaged 54 maxi ball mold that throws about an ounce of tin. Others have done it by drilling appropriate sized holes in a piece of hardwood.
Plenty of ways to skin this cat.
Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.

use a duck strap anchor mold. I can cut the straps with scissors to what ever size and easy to store.
