What do you use to hold powder for dippers?

[Green Frog]

My mother is addicted to International Coffees, so I use those boxes for a variety of applications including as a powder reservoir when dipping. If I lose or damage one a replacement comes available in the next few days.

PS The snap-on lids are convenient too!

I use a hanging bin. Mine is about four inches square and two inches tall in yellow.

A tuna fish can. Had a friend who used an ash tray while reloading, worked great till he tried to put a butt out in it. A couple ounces of IMR 4350 going up was quite a sight.

My late mother-in-law gave me a real ugly ashtray that she picked up in a yard sale about 30 years ago that is the only thing that I will use

I use a baby food jar. Wide enough for what I need it to do plus a lid to keep moisture out if I want to use it across several sessions, always labeled of course.

I use a (labeled) small pimento jar with a piece of plastic taped across the far side to strike off the excess.

Me too, only a tea cup.

I use a plastic coffee container (1 lb. I believe),cut it down to the bottom 1/3 of its original size(height). works very well,and can easily be poured back into the bulk powder container.

Old 35 mm film guy that use to develop my own film. Repurposed stainless steel development tank. Proped up on a two inch cardboard tube from an old duct tape roll works really well for me.

When I dip I use a Gladware container typically, the kind you get with lunch meat inside. I have a bunch of them I use for all sorts of reloading tasks among them this.

Coffee cup, a coffee cup I've had a long time it reads:caution contents may explode.

My dad's old coffee cup that has a picture of Snuffy Smith on it and is labeled "Paw". I think he'd approve.

Half pint glass jelly jar.

When I 'scoop powder', which isn't a regular thing for me, I use a rather large 'cereal bowl' to hold the powder.
I hold the measure over the center of the bowl, and I use a separate 'scoop' to pick up a generous quantity and pour it into the measure.
When full to overflowing, I strike off the excess, then pour the charge into a waiting case.

Dredging powder into your measure creates an inconsistency that is avoided by pouring into the measure.

I'm another that uses a coffee cup. Just because...

It never ceases to amaze me how threads like this ALWAYS reveal some hidden secret that is so obvious, and yet so perfect, that you just have to go,,, WOW in 40 years why didn't I think of that!

The Can with the strip soldered across the top to scrape off the excess powder as you dip it out is shear Genius!

I will be making something like this in the immediate future.

I knew when I started reading this thread that there would be infinite wisdom contained somewhere in it's content.

Score another one for Castboolits!

Here's one of the dipping cans with the strip that I made. Works great! Wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for this thread.
