Thread: Lee Loader .303 - what size scoop did Lee include?

I use the scoops as a poor mans powder thrower and trickle up to the correct charge. The scoop in my old .303 kit is marked 167 which I assume is .167 cubic inches or just shy of 2.8 ml.

I actually have both. Interesting they have changed the scoop geometry. The old one is more slender with narrower mouth. Theoretically might mean less charge variability when you gently shake it sideways / wipe across with a credit card to remove excess.
