    Flow rate out of RCBS Pro Melt???

    How fast of lead flow can you get out of this furnace? I don't cast bullets but cast a lot of lead sinkers some of which are 24 oz. While these are not near as finicky as bullets I do have to have a faster flow rate than the standard lee 20 lber. Is the RCBS any faster when adjusted out?

    Thanks in advance.

    I can`t tell you the GPM out of the RCBS pot. I can tell you that with the adjustment screw run out you will get a very large stream of lead as the spout will pass of molten lead. A hot mold during this type of pour will reduce wrinkles as the same holds true for boolet molds. It took me a little while and adjustments to use the RCBS pot from a LEE as the LEE seemed slower.Robert

    You can get enough flow out of the RCBS pot, I use ingot molds to fill if Im changing my BHN and they are close to a pound.

    Also the fuller the pot the great the flow rate. If the pot is almost empty there is not as much lead above the spout to increase the flow. Think it's called head pressure.
