What a cool piece of Lee history! I will have to start looking for one or two for addition to my collection.

Out of curiousity I once tested a Lee dipper similar to what you did, with Bullseye at 0.5 cc. I didn't follow the Lee instructions for scooping, and tapped it a certain number of times to let the powder settle and eliminate voids, and also to knock off excess from the handle. I got results that were consistently within 0.1 gr. One of these days I think I'll get a set just for working up small batches (in conjunction with a scale, of course!)
