Lee Dippers. Old Black & new Yellow

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Anyone have a conversion for the two sets?

To anything, Grains,
CCs, whatever.

The older black 13 dipper set is marked with
(maybe) cc volume equivalents?

020, 039, 052, 065, 069, 108,
129, 141, 167, 190, 205, 230, & 258.

2 gr, 3.9 Gr, 5.2 gr &
so on?

The newer 15 dipper set, is marked in cc
volumes.

.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, & 4.3ccs

Oh, I have both sets with the
matching "slide rule" calculator.

I know I could
simply dip each a few times for a working average & note it, but
that's 84 powder dips & I'm hoping someone, somewhere has done
this!

& Yes, I have powder meters, several of them, &
scales both balance beam & electronic,  but I still use the
dippers when creating a few of a new load for experimenting.
Thanks.
