The problem was ther was only about 3 sizes and they had lines on the outside ,so you had to guess, I'm not looking for accurate loads, just safe ones. The formula is ((old dipper #)/0.061024/1000) and if you compare the cc, indeed you discover that the volume of the old dippers falls between the volumes of the new ones. His old cubic inch dippers, made of black And the formula is ((cc of dipper)/(vmd of the powder)).
The kit's chart/scale reads 2.5cc for 34 grs. The problem was ther was only about 3 sizes and they had lines on the outside ,so you had to guess, If you use the yellow dippers, try to get a old red set to use with the yellow set that is a quote from an archived thread.

The formula is ((old dipper #)/0.061024/1000) and if you compare the cc, indeed you discover that the volume of the old dippers falls between the volumes of the new ones. By the way the older red dippers have different dippers on opposite sides of each dipper on the two smallest ones. I'm not looking for accurate loads, just safe ones.
The #20 and the #39 have this feature which throw different volumes but aren't listed on the chart. Seldom used them, because i couldn't figure out how. I will post a pic later. For years, i used my lee dippers to measure rifle charges.
I Would Not Use This Type Data Without Scale To Check Actual Weight Of A Few Throws.
His old cubic inch dippers, made of black And the formula is ((cc of dipper)/(vmd of the powder)). It had smaller volumes than normal powder disks. I was looking for a chart for the old dippers, to compare the volume to the new yellow cc dippers.
For Years, I Used My Lee Dippers To Measure Rifle Charges.
This is what i did: Anybody have the red and black to make a comparison and let me know I don't think i would want to run a flake powder through it but small charges of titegroup(under 3.0 grains) work fine. I used the vmd chart in the back to make a list for the powders i use.

I have one that is made by someone else and it works fine for small loads of fine powders. Are the powder dippers accurate enough to use for test rounds? The problem was ther was only about 3 sizes and they had lines on the outside ,so you had to guess, The history is well documented, lee went out of business, and he started over.
Lee Had The Al Powder Dippers In The First Lee Loaders Had A Red Wood Handle.
