I have 2 sets, the older molded of black plastic, the newer yellow. In the older set the powder charge card (slide) id printed on one side only, in the newer both sides, so the newer set lists more powders ergo more charges.

I have black red and yellow. Couldn't live without them. I threw away my trickler the dippers are much faster. I can weigh and seat 100 rifle rds in about an hour.

Red and yellow here......

.....don't recall black ones except individually in older Lee Loader sets. But then Bob has a year or two on me.

I have the older set and the newer set. The older one is marked in cubic inches. The newer one is marked in cubic centimeters. They are not duplicates of each other. Having both doubles the number of possible scoop sizes you can get. They bottom out at about 2.8gr of Bullseye.

For smaller than that, I also make scoops out of fired .22LR cases. Just bend a 12ga solid electric wire for the handle and solder them together. I scoop whatever powder I want to use (usually Bullseye) into the scale 10 times, then weigh it and divide by 10. If not the amount I want, I shorten it a little bit with a grinder and weigh again. When I get what I want, I mark it on the base. I have several at 1.5gr (32 Short Colt), 2.0gr (32 Long Colt), 2.3gr (32ACP), etc of Bullseye. I have checked a few times and they are very repeatable.

I have a buncha homemade too using 22 cases, 25ACp, 32Acp, 40short and wide, etc. Again with wire handles!

I have a bunch of those too...

I glue the head of a small nail to the side of the case and then stick a short length of wooden dowel on the nail for a handle. Bullseye or Unique in a jar with a piece of plastic credit card rubber-banded across the top for a strike-off plate, is about as fast, easy and accurate as anything I have tried.
