Yep , 8 -10oz cans = 1- 5lb jug . So its like 3 cans free .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.
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.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.
