Lead Melt Pot Wanted

#1 Post by nfarmer »

I want to venture into casting my own bullet heads so would like to get a cheap pot just to try it out, anyone?

Very helpful Dave! lol

Get yourself a Dutch Oven for bulk melting and casting into muffin pans
For actually casting boolits I would suggest a Lee pot commonly called a drip-o'matic, or save up and get a good quality Lyman or better yet RCBS pro-melt
Purveyor of fine cast boolits.
All round good guy and VERY grumpy old man.

When I used to cast my own fishing leads I just used a pan and ladle from The pound shop. :good:

I have a Lee bottom pour pot. Made for 120v but with an adaptor to make it work with 240V. It does not drip. I have used it a bit, but I prefer the ladle for casting. I want £35 for it. If you are interested, let me know and I will bring it down to the range on Sunday.
