4-20 is a great low cost option. As mentioned above, PID is a great addition when financials allow. Down the road PID can be used with other items or multiple pots too if so desired.

Lee Magnum Melter and Lyman Ladle ...pressure cast .

You are not required to use a bottom pour pot to cast boolits .
Contrary to what everyone says ... you can cast great boolits and not use a bottom pour pot .

The Lee Magnum Melter never leaks .
