I usually let the oil drain for about 1/2 hour, by then it has stopped dripping.

Kind of. I use an old 1L oil bottle with the see through window strip on the side that shows the measurements. So if I use the bigger jugs of oil eg:4.4L, I use the measurement bottle to get it accurate, and 4.2L gets it to the same point on the dipstick after every oil change.
