    My experience is that bottom pour is excellent for multi-cavity boolits under 250 gn. Large boolits like 500 gn. May benefit from ladle casting. My thoughts are that you can get the lead into a large cavity faster and with some "pressure head" with a ladle than bottom pour.

    Yes sir, I hadn't really gave it much thought because up until recently most of my casting was 357 magnum and 44 magnum six cavity molds, but now I am casting Hammerhead slugs and from what I am gathering here the ladle sounds like the way to go. I am not looking to cast a whole bunch of slugs real fast either so I think I will have to hunt up my old ladle and give it a go. Thanks for the info!!!
