You can get the charges quite consistent with the lee scoops. You are meant to have the power in a wide mouth bowl, you dunk the scoop and let the powder flow into it in a consistent manner and lift it straight up. You don't "scoop it up" as that may cause compression of the powder. Then the contents are levelled in a consistent way e.g. with a credit card edge, scooped at same angle the same way each time. Plenty youtube videos.

Scooping in this manner is as accurate as any powder thrower - just not adjustable in as fine increments.
