I think buying a 650 at 10 times the price of a LEE set up is out of the question for the OP at this time. While I love my 650, I'm glad I didn't start reloading with a 650. I used a LEE 3-hole turret for many years and tens of thousands of rounds. I still use it for loading small batches of .38, .41, .45 Colt and .454. I, too, like the powder dippers. I don't use them a lot, but they're there when I need them. You are correct. I wanted to start small before getting into a higher priced progressive press. I also noticed that most people with high end presses have, and have kept a single stage press. I plan to load mostly 9mm, and maybe some 40. That means I could buy a Dillon SDB and use the single stage to hand load .223. After looking over the Blue Press, I think I would start with a 550. Russ

Pretty sure not. I'd have to check my Lee manual to see what sizes come in there. If I can remember, I'll have a look when I go home for lunch. Looks like you are correct, the smallest dipper hold 3.5 grains of Titegroup. The next size up holds 5.9....way too much. Russ

Good to know......They won't do 4.0 of Titegroup?

Thanks for all the good info. For $8 from Midway, I guess i will add them to my tools

Thanks! I started cheap with a Lee classic kit $80, and for the price I am VERY impressed. Included everthing I need, except dies. I added a Lyman digital scale for a little piece of mind. Once I get more into reloading, I will get a Dillon 550. I loaded 10 rounds to test in my M&P Pro and they worked great (and accurate) ( MG 124, 4.0 Titegroup) Now I am in full production mode, and based on my first 10 rounds, I can load 2 rounds per hour Russ

New to reloading 9mm. If I have a Lee powder measure, Is there any reason to buy and use a set of Lee powder dippers? A powder measure should be much more accurate, correct? Thanks !
