Little tricks I learned from reading Skeeters work and years of hand loading in the field on the porch and such.
Pour your powder into a steel cookie or coffee tin with a large mouth ( label it)
Then measure out your loads on the scale.
Pour your loads into a different size case that is larger. Mark where the load ends.
Then cut that case down with a trimmer or dremel and smooth the edges so the load is exactly at the top.
May have to cut and measure it a couple times to get it right.
Scratch your caliber, powder, and measurement into the case ( I use one of those cheapo 8$ engravers from harbor freight.)
Then use it as a scoop. Scoop the powder, thumb off excess, pour. Quick and accurate load every time!
I carry all my stuff in a craftsman tool bag so I only have one caliber, weight bullet and one powder in the field. Less mistakes that way.
Those cookie or coffee tins are yet again perfect ( label them).
Enjoy!
