    Red Lee Powder Dippers

    I recently bought a set of red dippers. I wanted to supplement my yellow dippers. Can you tell me the approximate difference in volume between the two? I'm hoping they'll be just a bit smaller. I'll find out when I get them. Thanks.

    Next I want a set of black dippers. IDK why but I seem to be addicted to buying powder measuring equipment.

    I've got a set of both and found a comparison somewhere and made a small spreadsheet. It looks like each red size is just a smidge larger than the yellow. If you want I can attach it to an email(I hope!) and send it.

    That's the one. I just created a spreadsheet that had one more column showing the CC's for the yellow dippers.

    I'm hoping the 108 dipper will drop around 13.0gr Red Dot. My 1.9cc dipper drops around 15gr.

    Under influence of the proverbial "Wild Hare" (or was it "Hair"?) I tracked down and bought all three sets, black, red and yellow. Oddly enough, I haven't found any great uses for them, since I collect powder measures of the dispenser type, but by golly, I've got them if I need them. Maybe somebody posting on this thread will inspire me with a good use for them.

    I was at a broke stage of my life when I thought about looking for the red Lee powder dippers, (raising a kid by yourself will do that). What I did for the charges I wanted that didn't meet Lee's ideas as to what was useful, was to make my own.

    A straight walled case that is reasonably close, solder on a wire handle some with a wooden gripping surface, and use a case trimmer or file to adjust the size.

    Hello jimkim,

    I made a chart containing both the Old Style (CI) and the New Style (CC) for Black MZ.
    The Old Style are listed in Red, and the New Style are listed in Blue.

    Hope this helps, AntiqueSledMan.
