=== Powder measuring === Powder is measured by weight (usually grains or grams) but can dispensed by volume. Beginning reloading kits often include a weight-to-volume conversion chart for a selection of common powders and a set of powder volume measures graduated in small increments.<ref>https://leeprecision.com/powder-measure-kit</ref> By adding the various measures of powder the desired charge can be measured with a safe degree of accuracy. However, since weighing individual powder charges or using "dippers" can be time-consuming, a powder measuring dispensor is often used. A powder measure has a changeable or adjustable cavity to adjust the volume of the charge. A [[powder measure]] accurate to {{convert|1/10|gr|mg}} is desirable.<ref name=nonte_2 /> A final type of dispenser is an all in one electronic scale and trickler. These will automatically dispense the next charge after the pan is returned to the scale. Additionally, a powder trickler can be used to slowly add powder to a volumetrically measured charge on a scale to bring the charge up to the desired amount. Tricklers allow vey precise powder charges. <gallery> File:Powder Dispenser.jpg|Hornady Powder Measure File:Lee dipper set.jpg|Lee dipper set File:Lee dipper.jpg|Individual Lee dipper File:Lee Powder Measure.jpg|Lee Powder Measure File:Belding & Mull Powder Measure.jpg|Belding & Mull Powder Measure File:Dillon Powder Measure.jpg|Dillon Powder Measure File:RCBS Powder Measures.jpg|RCBS Powder Measures File:RCBS Trickler.jpg|RCBS Trickler </gallery>
