    Actually most powder measures work on the same principal, they dip from a resivoir of powder & dispense it into a container.
    Done consistantly the Lee dippers will work well.

    The older very nice 3 digit numbered dippers were calibrated to Cubic inch , I have them in black and red color. with both the older set CU" and a newer CC dippers it will give you more options.

    I use them for a few loads. The ones I have just seldom seem to line up with the load I want. The larger ones do make great sugar measures for bottle priming home-brew beers though.

    I have a brand new set of Lee dippers with the slide chart for powders. Still new in the box, and I don't use them. But not because they don't work! I literally wore a set out using them when I started out, and found this set at a gun show a few years back NIB for $5. Just brought back good memories of my beginnings in reloading, so I like having them.
    Considering how many decades fellas loaded with all sorts of homemade dippers, I sure doubt the Lee dippers wont still work great!
