Red and yellow, black and pink: Lee dippers.

Red and yellow, black and pink: Lee dippers

I have the yellow dippers but I wanted the red ones also. They are for sale at Numrich under "Closeouts -> Reloading", here:

http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Products.aspx?catid=6469

Just 45 to 70 cents each.

Here is a chart I made showing how much they hold in grains. It includes a few popular powders including Trail Boss.

129 and 141 are light pink.
167 is dark pink.
181 and 217 are black.
All the other dippers in column 1 are red.
The dippers in column 2 with no corresponding number to the left in column 1 are yellow.

Here is an example of how to read the table. The red dipper labelled 069 holds 1.1 cc and will hold 5.1 grains of Trail Boss.

And here is the same data. I just thought I would try the table feature.

I created a spreadsheet to do the calculations.

And if you have an older copy of Excel:

And I color coded the spreadsheet also.

Some great info for guys that use dippers... Cleaned up just a bit and it would be a great sticky!

Just a funny side note....but reading the title made me think of an old church school song....except for instead of white, caucasians are now considered pink,LOL.

I don't mind making this a sticky at all. What are you seeing that could be cleaned up Hawcer?

Thanks..

It might just be my pc...it's small(screen), so sometimes it throws things off so they look garbled.
If it looks good to you, delete this post and I'll edit my original post.

Ah ok, yea I have a 17" monitor and everything looks pretty big.. I will go ahead and make it a sticky......
