My powder measure of 80 gns (vol) weigh 54 gns (weight) using T7/fff.
 
If your friend shoots alot, he'd be better off buying the 5lb jug. Cuts the cost way down, vs the 10oz jugs. Plus some suppliers have nixed the hazmat charge right now for sizeable orders, so its even cheaper.
Yep , 8 -10oz cans = 1- 5lb jug . So its like 3 cans free .
 
Another possibility. What you might want to check is how much BH209 it can dispense in 1 pull. This one will do upto 150gr by weight of Varget but much less of some other powders. So i would pay attention to how much BH209 it can drop at the max setting.

Lee added BH209 to the dipper chart so you can cross reference powders by volume to get a rough idea

The 4.3cc dipper is around 42.7gr by weight of BH209.
Thanks, GM! I haven't thought to look for an updated Lee Dipper chart in years. Neither my Little Dandy nor Lee Perfect Powder Measure is quite as consistent as dippers with flake powders, in my experience.

Seriously, thank you for prompting me to do that. You just saved me a few bucks; instead of ordering more Little Dandy rotors to use some European flake powders in pistol cartridge reloading, I see those are now on that dipper chart. You also saved me some wait-for-the-mail time since I can get started this afternoon with dippers.
