Powder and Patched Ball Questions

[J-Bar]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a small powder measure that will work well in the 10 to 20 gr range? Thanks.

The smaller dippers in the Lee Dipper set should work, not a bad way to spend $10. Figure 1.0 CC of black powder is about 15 grains; the smallest dipper in the set is 0.3 CC, which will throw about 5 grains. The largest dipper throws 4.3 CC of powder, equivalent to about 65 grains of black powder. The 1.3 CC dipper will get you close to 20 grains of powder.


(The specifications chart in the advertisement lists the sizes as "grains"--that is an error. The dippers measure cubic centimeters not grains of powder. I own two sets.)

I use Lee dippers. In addition, I have a set of measures for my flask.
