    Lee Red Dippers ?

    Does anyone have a powder chart for the Lee Red Dippers, been searching the web without much luck.
    Maybe someone could email me a copy of it or give me a web site?

    I have a RED set. Dated 1966
    The dips are numbered.020, 039, 052, 065, 069, 108, 129, 141, 167, 190, 205, 230, 258.
    It doesn't say what the grains are.
    It has the sliding chart as part of the box.

    I have both sets; the numbers on the red ones are decimal fractions of a cubic inch and the yellow ones are marked in cubic centimeters. There are so many lines of data on both sides of the cards that it would take more pictures than anyone would want to fool with. If you don't have the card holder to do the slide-rule act, you can't read the data. Someone at some data site compiled (I think) both cards into a regular matrix chart. I'll see if I can find it but it'll be a couple of days before I can do that.

    You could make a cheat sheet converting the cubic inch #s to ccs and and use the newer Lee data sheets.
    I have a conversion app on my phone that does it quick and easy .

    CC is not a measure of volume?

    This gives you what you need to start the 020-4.1 = 0.32 -4.0 grain on the Lee vmd chart.
    I would not use this type data without scale to check actual weight of a few throws .

    abunaitoo,

    You might want to edit your list. It appears that two digits may have been transposed.

    The third item down [ 025-10.8 ] should read [052-10.8]

    From what I remember the black dippers and the red dippers are the same and have the same volumetric designators on the handles.

    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.
