Just ordered a Lee pro 4 20 and the Lee 6 cavity .356 120tc mold with Bday pricing from Midway. I'm still going to melt and clean in cast iron over propane, but for casting duties I'm trying the Lee bottom pour.

The 4-20 works just fine. Low cost and works
I've found there are distinct advantages to giving yourself presents.
The main one is you get exactly what you wanted instead of something like a ugly sweater that doesn't even fit.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Or receiving a shirt for Christmas with one sleeve 4" longer than the other. And being told that I had to wear it, as-is, it was nonreturnable, the shirt had been bought at a discount mall with no returns.
My M-I-L really, really loved me
Happy Birthday! I have had good luck with the 4-20 pots. If you keep the lead clean, it shouldn’t give you many problems. One thing that I do is to screw the nozzle down tight when I am done casting, while the lead is still hot. I think it helps with the dripping problem that many people have.
Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!
Money well spent Happy Birthday! GW
Its not the size of the gift, but how many boolits it can make
Well,,,,, there are usually a few at Goodwill for $2-3 bucks.But then you never get a chance to win the ugly sweater contest

Happy birthday!!! Birthdays are a privilege denied to many -- enjoy yours! Vis my last (75 years old!) to celebrate three-quarters of a century living, I also used my MidwayUSA "birthday bucks" to buy meself (sic) a gift: I bought the Umarex Notos PCP .22 air rifle. Happy before; happier at Midways b-day pricing (I saved over $60.00 USD!) -- and still happier when I take the Notos to camp or range! I hope you will be as happy with your casting goodies!

Crap! I didn't even think about a PCP. Been wanting to try one. I can fill one off of the fire department air system.
I have a few things on my Midway Wish List, waiting on my birthday. I have a couple of months to wait! Hunting season is just around the corner!
Looking back maybe I should have gotten the 147 tc mold.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dude!!!!!!!!!!!

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
Nice! I bought the same thing a couple years back also with Midway birthday pricing
Happy Birthday!!! I have the same pot (bought it years ago) and mold and they have given me great service for a long time. I hope you enjoy your BD gifts!

Happy birthday !
When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
