    I use dippers for the majority of my loads. Either Lee or I make my own from empty cases. Fast, accurate, and never noticed any difference on target. Just my experience

    I have a set of dippers somewhere but don't know where.
    Still wouldn't use them if I did.

    sometimes it gets a bit humid in my powder bunker but it still always goes bang and as long as it goes bang I'm good. keep the containers sealed good is what has worked for me but I do have a few old cardboard containers of herco, green dot and red dot and for grins and giggles I load a few shells with them every so often and they all have worked flawlessly.
    I think the only powder that gets me frustrated if I try to load when it is humid is that Alliant 300mp. it tends to stick to the powder hopper and seems to stick to whatever it touches in high humidity. I no longer have a climate controlled reloading room, maybe thats the problem.
