Description
The Lee Improved Powder Measure Kit is one of those simple tools that earns a permanent spot on the bench. It's a set of 15 fixed-volume dippers that scoop a measured amount of powder, ranging from .3cc all the way up to 4.3cc. Because each dipper is a fixed size, there's nothing to adjust, nothing to knock out of calibration, and nothing to second-guess once you've matched the scoop to your load. That's exactly why longtime reloaders keep coming back to dippers for small batches.
How the Lee Dipper Kit Works
The dippers go from .3cc to 4.3cc in graduated steps, covering the range most pistol and rifle handloaders deal with day to day. Included dippers run .3, .5, .7, 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, 1.9, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3.1, 3.4, 3.7, 4.0, and 4.3cc. If you need to split the difference between two sizes, a lot of folks combine scoops to sneak up on a charge weight, then drop it on a scale to fine-tune. The .17cc dipper isn't part of the set and is sold separately.
Reading the Slide Card
Every kit ships with a slide card that does the math for you. It shows roughly how many grains each dipper throws across a wide list of common powders, so you aren't guessing at volume-to-weight conversions. The dipper data was revised in recent years to keep it current with modern powders, which makes it a handy reference even if you also weigh every charge.
Why Reloaders Keep Dippers Around
Dippers are a great entry point if you're new to handloading and not ready to invest in an automatic measure, and they're just as useful as a backup or for load development when you're working up charges in small runs. A common approach is to dip close, then trickle up to the exact weight on a scale for precision rifle loads. They're inexpensive, foolproof, and they'll outlast most of the gear on your bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dipper sizes come in the Lee Improved Powder Measure Kit?
The kit includes 15 graduated dippers: .3, .5, .7, 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, 1.9, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3.1, 3.4, 3.7, 4.0, and 4.3cc. That range covers most common pistol and rifle charge weights. Note that the smaller .17cc dipper is not included and is sold separately.
How do I know how many grains each dipper throws?
The included slide card shows the approximate grain weight each dipper dispenses for a long list of common powders. Since powders vary in density, the same scoop throws a different weight depending on which powder you're using, and the card does that conversion for you. For precision loads, many reloaders dip close and then verify on a scale.
Can I use the Lee dippers without a scale?
Yes, the dippers are designed to throw repeatable fixed-volume charges on their own, which is why they're popular with new reloaders and small-batch handloaders. That said, pairing them with a scale is a common move, especially for rifle loads where you dip close and trickle up to an exact weight. Using a scale also lets you confirm your charges match published load data.
Do these dippers ever go out of adjustment?
No. Each dipper is a fixed volume with nothing to set or calibrate, so there's nothing to drift or knock loose over time. That simplicity is a big part of why dippers remain a favorite for reloaders working in small quantities.
