ive used promelts for years and before that a lyman pot. Never had a PID and never remember ever thinking to myself I need better heat control. Ive casted ALOT of bullets in the last 45 years I'm sure the number ends in 6 zeros. but that said every has different prioritys and different toys. What ever trips your trigger. Bottom line is other then maybe a magma pot your going to have to look hard to find a pot better then the old rcbs pro melt.
