The Lee are set amounts. Say it holds 5 grains of xyz powder but you want 4.5 grains? You can file the plastic down to exactly hold 4.5 or just make one out of a 9mm brass and file it down , glue or solder a little handle on it.

That concept ONLY works for 1 drop weight.....of 1 powder. It doesnt work for any more or any less of "XYZ" powder....doesnt work for even 4.5 gr of "ABC" powder and cant begin to measure various ( not 4.5 gr) drop weights of other powders. I have enough "junk" cluttering up my bench without a small herd of homemade ( or factory made) powder dippers
