I have that same pot. Need to get the skirt added.

This is the one I decided upon and have ordered. It's got all the features I wanted and will hold up to a 162 quart pot of water capacity (over 300#).

Minerat, Thank you very much for your suggestion. I was looking for one with a "jet" type burner. The folded, sheet metal legs on your illustrated burner is what I'm leery about being strong enough...

I am requesting advice on locating a propane powered seafood/turkey fryer type burner that will last a long time and be heavy duty enough to not collapse and dump 200+ pounds of molten lead on me yet...

I've used it for years on leather slings. I apply it with an old toothbrush and a hair dryer. The heat makes the Sno Seal soak into the leather very well. Keeps slings from drying out and getting...

Works great with current Dillon seating dies. Won't work with older dies.

I use this

I had about half a five gallon bucket of that Austrian 5.56 brass with the tiny flash hole. I placed this tool

Try this long handle release magnet.

If you want to try this boolit before purchasing a mold, Bayou Bullets offers their Hi-Tek coated version of this bullet in both .356" and .358" diameter. IIRC Donnie used this boolit in a 1911 in...

Who makes custom case expanders/funnels for Dillon powder measures for use with cast bullets larger than the traditional sized jacketed bullets for caliber? Something incorporating the "Lyman step" ...

I am still using Bullseye in the little metal cans labeled Hercules. Made long before the name change to Alliant. I also have Red Dot, Green Dot, Unique, 2400, and, I think a bit of Herco in the...

Can .32ACP cartridges be safely fired in a .32 Long S&W or Colt revolver in good condition?

I use this one:

Works great.

Dusty you are right - &#@% happens. These wheel weights have been stored indoors in a dry place for many years. No place for moisture to hide. However I'm gowned up and have a face shield and welders...

The exact (borrowed) pot, burner and ladle I'm using can be seen here :

I'm not at all concerned with trapped moisture with the wheelweights (both...

With the amount of steel clips generated it's not practical loading the pot to overflowing with clip on wheelweights and just melt it down. I start with about one inch of frozen lead from the...

2200 was originaly introduced years ago as a surplus powder. The 2200 available today is newly manufactured. Maybe the two have slightly different burn rates? Maybe the corporate lawyers bumped down...

Yep - lowering the temp made the melt take a bit longer but makes the chore much more pleasant and uses much less propane. Glad I found my ancient Lyman thermometer from many years ago.

Made this melt/pour yesterday (Sunday). Started late afternoon about 3PM. Notice the amount of steel clips resulting in 149 ingots is just about the same in volume as the lead yield. Took everybody's...

The clips from the wheelweights go bye bye. Any slag or clips that have any lead stuck on them plus any spills and the flash clipped off the ingots goes back in the pot with the next melt. Don't want...

osteodoc08, You hit the nail on the head. I dug out my ancient Lyman thermometer for my last melt/pour and it pegged at 900F. No wonder I've been using so much propane! Good thing I was super careful...

Thanks for all the replies!

This is 100% clip on wheelweights. Didn't think the pure lead would seperate and float on top. The ingots are plenty hard.
