With the same pot that comes in the Lyman 4500 kit with the suppied ladle.
I used it for the first time Saturday on a dedicated electric curcit with only the pot{400 watts} and hot plate to keep the moulds warm.
Anyway book that came with it says 8 pound pot and has no setting for heat just plug in after first lead was melted 25-30min. cold new lead.
Refills after almost empty was up to temp in 8 min or so.
I casted over
750 124gr 9mm "TC" weighed 124.5 as well as all the rest listed below was a little on the heavy side. Before sized and lubed.
150 250gr 45 Colt.
150 230gr 45ACP RN
100 185gr 45ACP button wad cutters
The heating coil inside the pot and smaller size soon got old
