Before I found a set of Lee Dippers (which is probably the best $10 I ever spent) I made my own .45 Colt dipper rather than run black powder through my Dillon Powder Measure. No need to debate the safety of running black powder through a Dillon measure for the nth time, I just did not want to put up with the mess.
Anyway, I determined how far down into the case the bullet would go when crimped, cut off a case just above that level with a Dremel, and epoxied the trimmed case to the blade of a small screwdriver. Instant custom made dipper.
I later did the same for .38 cases.
Driftwood Johnson is right...keep it simple.
