wwillson Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I have a Lee Pro 4-20 bottom pour 20lb pot that works very well. I think this pot is one of the best values on the market.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugerman1 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I use a bottom pour Lyman Mag20 mostly.I have a smaller ladle lyman pot and a big propane fired smelting pot.Each one has its specific uses.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Rugerman1,Is your smelting pot a plumber's pot? Or, was it purpose built for bullet casting?Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugerman1 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 An old plumbers pot I got from my casting mentor.I'll take a pic soon.It needs newer fittings to be re-filled.Gotta see who is up on the conversion.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwillson Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 How is the spout fastened to the pot? I've never noticed, but would assume it's welded somehow..Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx997303 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Nope, it's jammed on there.The hole is .43" diameter, and the flange on the spout is .44"There's a jam nut on the bottom for tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to remember to be careful with the spout. I have had to clean zinc contaminated lead from it, but always do it while hot with a length of wire after removing the plunger.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
