I've got an old Lee Loader for 6.5x55 but I have none of the powders listed on the chart that came with it. I do have H4350 and H4831SC though. It came with Lee scoop #167 I was wondering if anyone knows how I can find out what a full scoop of H4350 weighs in #167. What about H4831SC? | ||

http://www.leeprecision.com/cg...instruct/Dippers.pdf You`ll have to weight the dipper to find out what charge weight you`re getting. Lee quit offering those dippers years ago and went to dippers marked by volume in CC instead of just a random number set. The old dipper set I have doesn`t list H4350 as a powder option but does include IMR4350. I don`t believe the hodgdon version was available at the time your dipper was made. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?

I found that thanks, but I have an old Lee kit and it doesn't say which of the scoops on the chart you provided corresponds to the old #167 dipper. | |||

I recommemd you buy a powder scale. It does not have to be an expensive one, just a basic scale. You and I might have a different technique and our charges from the same lee dipper might be different. When I was in college I used lee dippers to load 44 Mag and 264 Winchester mag with perfect results. However my charges were not MAX, so a grain or so difference would not make a dangerous difference. The 264 loads shot under and inch using the dipper. I loaded the 44's on a Lyman tong tool and the 264's with a Lee loader. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||
