I prefer to use a dipper, or ladle, rather than bottom pour.

The best ladle I have found is the Rowell, which I bought from the Antimony Man. No connections to him except for being a happy customer.

I have the two pound ladle. It does make nice bullets, although I use the bottom pour pot more.

Ayup! I use the #2 for almost everything, and can't speak to highly of it,
or Bill Ferguson's service, and knowledge.

What are the sizes on the different Rowell ladels. I was thinking about buying one for pouring .458 400 gr and 475 380 gr bullets, but they all seemed to big. The #1 was listed as having a 1 lb capacity. Am I missing something. I'm just getting started (green) in to casting, starting to collect the necessary goodies.

You may prefer a smaller ladle for casting. The rowels are probably better for smelting. You can get casting ladles from Lyman or RCBS.

Advance car movers manufactures the Rowell (I think) you can see the whole line of them at

Get the #1 for your use, it holds plenty for big bullets and multiple cavity molds.

I bought the Rowell Ladle. Seems like a solution looking for a problem.

Zombie thread about as old as they can get. I have a #1 and a #7 and I like them. Which one did you get, and exactly why don't you like it???

I recently bought a #1 rowel ladle and like it alot for the big heavy bullets and multi cavity ( my one 45 cal mopuld is 1100 grains of lead with out the sprues. I may make a slightly shorter handle for it as the long one gives the 1 lb of lead capacity alot of leverage on my wrist. Roels makes ladle from 1 lb up to 2 man oh my god for industrial use.

I use a #4 for smelting. Its a nice tool. I have a few others but this one gets used the most.

My H&G ladle shot craps after 35 years. I need to find someone to weld it back together. In the mean time, I have a ROWELL #1..wish it was about half its size AND had the handle fitting on both sides so I could use the little V to fill molds. You could FLY with the H&G ladle and a mould with a troughed sprue plate.
