Once you settle on a load, if you have a good scale you can make a simple dipper from an old brass case. File down the case mouth until it holds the exact amount you want. Wrap a piece of strong wire. or glue or solder it on. Fill it to over flow scrape off the top,(don't tap and shake) and it,s very constant.

Costs nothing and easy to do. I used to reload on a single stage and had all kinds of custom dippers along with the LEE plastic ones. Put them all in a loading block and dip away!

EDIT: 12.7 gr of 2400 is just fine for your load and NO you do not need to use Mag primers.
