There used to be a website with info on vintage lee classic hand loaders I own several and need to know what dipper would have came with mine.
Look up the sku on Lee's website then "Click here to view parts". The dippers are listed.
I would guess the sku wouldn't have changed? ...but just a guess

Cartridge?
Find a box of the dippers and you are covered for any cartridge.
I have one and use them but I’d like to complete my kit with the proper red dipper.
It’s been bugging me that I can find the website in general as they had very good I for on what loaders lee had made as well as what should be in them.
Proper red one eh? The ones I've seen (and came with the 303 loader I've got) were all yellow.
It’s not them I searched the entire thing

I have several and they came with red, black, and yellow powder dippers. The color doesn't matter as long as you get the right size. Lee will have the information you are looking for.
Yes they were black and red at one point depending on the age of the lee loader or the dipper set you have. All my lee loaders are in the red and black cardboard box all have red dippers.
I looked in the "Modern Loading - Second Edition" by Richard Lee - no real help to you - they seem to list using about a dozen sizes of dippers - some would be "double scoop fulls", depending on bullet weight, for the 458 Win Mag - I do not see where they list what size dipper came in the Lee Loader kit, nor what bullet weight / which powder was used on that little chart that was in there. I started with a Lee Loader kit in 308 Win - maybe late 1970's - since then I have got parts for 22-250 and 30-06 Lee Loaders - but I bought a dipper "kit" and use what is listed in that manual - not sure I even have any of those charts any more. As I recall, there was one dipper in that kit, but you used different powder for different weight bullets - as per their chart in that kit.
