can anyone tell me were i can order or even if they are still available its a kit made by lee a bunch of spoons for powder measuring thanks
 
Lee still makes the Powder Measure Kit (dippers, spoons, scoops). I use mine quite a bit. Any Lee dealer can order you a set for $10-15. Higginson Powders in Hawkesbury Ontario or FS Reloading in Wisconsin come to mind.
 
Anyone else find that they can sometimes be off by a full grain and a half when using extruded powders? I usually weight my dipped loads on a scale when using varget and they can be off a bit
 
Just did 20 rounds with 3.1cc scoop and Varget using the method described in Lee's book. Most were right on 42.5gr a few .1 +/-. mybe 3 that were off enough I scooped some back out of the scale.

Ditto. I only use them for reloading shotshells that are already decently under max and lead cast plinking rounds.

I do find them really handy when measuring individual loads on my scale though. I find the scoop that is just under the load I want, dump it on, and then use usually the 0.7mL (cc = cubic centimetre = millilitre) scoop to "trickle" it up to the desired load.
 
If I am loading extruded powders, I will use the dippers to load the scale, I find the small dipper to be very nice to trickle with. Get to know visually how many sticks to trickle on the scale after a few throws with them.
However , I have a Chargemaster here to try out now, we'll see if I like it better or not.
 
Also try and find one of the older sets (red dippers), as there are one or two different dippers than the yellow ones. :)
