On my old Lee Conversion Chart (10+ yrs. old), the 1.60 dipper with Blue Dot is 18.5 grains.

I don't have any Blue Dot Powder so I can't verify the weight.

That help?

  Book says 18.5.  I dipped 10 times and came up with 18.3 for a low and 18.6 for a high.  Most were right at 18.5.

Once again referencing my old Lee Dipper chart:

Dipper  0.50 =   5.8 gr. - Blue Dot
Dipper  0.70 =   8.1 gr. - Blue Dot
Dipper  1.00 = 11.6 gr. - Blue Dot
