The perfect dipper bowl?

[buzzcut]

Searching for something deep enough to be able to dip according to Lee's instructions, without having to have large amounts of powder out. If this bowl could be comfortable to use, static free and not tip over easily, or just look fabulous, all the better.

Find a small ceramic dog or cat food/water bowl. Heavy enuf, bigger at the base so it won't tip, and non-static. I have also used a coffee cup or small glass bowl epoxied to a base, but the pet bowl was better.

I use a small white Corel bowl that I purchased at Wally World for a couple of dollars. Wife tells me it is an ice cream bowl. Fairly deep and does not build up static. Easy to clean and practically indestructable because even though Corel is like china, it usually doesn't break if dropped on the floor. I have never tipped it over but it definitely is not as stable as a dog bowl. On the other hand, it has a much smaller footprint.

I use a large clear pill bottle. I like my Lee powder-thru-expander dies.

I use a one pint Tupper Ware bowel. That way if I have to leave the bench for whatever reason I can cover it with the matching lid and it's sealed until I get back...

tide laundry powder clear plastic measurer. hold it solid to your work bench with clay. madr to pour easy......good luck

A short, squat and heavy glass with a thick bottom for added weight....wrapped in duct tape and with a semi-circle of clear plastic tubing glued on the edge.

Tap the dipper against the tubing.

Dip, tap, dump......dip, tap, dump......

The weight of it holds it in one spot so it doesn't wander about the bench while you are "dipping" one handed.

I use a rubbermaid condiment cup. It's a 1/2 cup capacity and is about right for the minor dipping needs I have, usually just trickling a charge, but I'll use it when single-staging pistol ammo for workups. A dryer sheet wipe on the inside and it's static free.

Wow! Some fancy stuff here!
I use one of the 6 oz plastic throw-away yogurt cups.

I've been using a washed tuna-fish can. Every now and then, wipe it down w/a dryer sheet. Helps those last powder flakes keep on moving and not stick.

And, then when I shoot, I am hungry for a tuna fish sandwich when I'm done

Apparently you've already got some Lee gear & assuming you've one of their round die storage assemblys then just use the top cover. Works good for me.
