I finally gave up on my Lee bottom pour pot, the last couple of times I’ve poured bullets I didn’t empty the pot and lubricate it (BIG no no with a Lee Bottom Pour!) i tried pouring some bullets from my new BACO GG mold and was getting pour results from contaminates. Yesterday i fired the pot up and emptied it, i striped it down and did away with the bottom pour features, plugged the down spout with a screw, Now my intentions are to use it as a melting furnace only. After getting my lead back in the modified pot, melted, and fluxed good (with a long paint stick) i tried my hand at Ladle Casting, it’s gonna take me some time to get a good Rhythm with it, it didn’t take me to long and i was pouring good keeper bullets, but it’s definitely a WAY different method than i am accustomed to, when the bottom pour fearure is working properly it is a hard to beat method in my opinion, but what a NUISANCE to maintain the pot after each casting session! I will get this Ladle Casting down, it’s just gonna take some more trial runs :yeah:
