That's exactly what "struck" means, Critch: to "strike" it off level with something like a card.

BTW, the most consistent way I've found to use a Lee dipper (or any other dipper) is NOT to drag it through the powder open end first. I BACK mine in, lowering the closed end in until the powder spills into the open end. Then lift the filled dipper out and strike off the rounded mound of powder. VERY consistent method.

Use an old heavy-bottom whiskey glass (one or two always seem to follow me out of a Vegas casino, LOL!) to hold the powder. Just about the right amount, won't tip over easily and static free. Great.
