The dipper will work nicely. Dip it the same way each time. You can't overfill one. Of course buy a scale. Unless you are banging with the base resting on a solid surface, bounce back will become annoying and will slow down progress. Look around for short section of a limb. Like 8 inches in diameter and 6 or so inches tall. Such are found where trees are cut and trimmed. The folks doing the work will happily cut off a section for you. Put this more substantial base on a non carpeted floor. Sit and whack. Using a non wadcutter bullet like round nose or semi wadcutter might be easier. Seating depth will be much less. Thus there is less likely risk of of damaging the bullet when seating. The Classic Loader will not expand the case sufficiently to seat a wadcutter. You can do so but without precision.
