Note that Lee did not name these items "Scoopers". Lee's instructions NEVER mention "scooping". They aren't meant to scoop powder. To correctly use them, you push them backwards through the powder, allowing the powder to fall in by gravity. When filled by this method the powder will heap up and can then be carded off. This is, ln essence, what Lancaster is talking about and what Lee instructs the user to do. ~Muir
