Has anybody tried drilling out the spout of a Lee Production Pot to increase the flow of lead to the mold? If so what size drill did you use?
I've had a Lee production pot that I bought back in 1977. It melts lead fine but I always had a problem with the spout either freezing up (lead hardening in spout) or what seems like an insufficient flow for larger bullet moulds like 240 grain 44's whatever the temperature setting. I can't tell you how many times I have cleaned this pot and spout out hoping that this would be the cure but to date this hasn't helped. This Lee PP has sat dormant for 30 years now and I'm tempted to drill out the spout to see if that helps. I think I paid $15 for this thing so if I wreck it it's no big loss.
Any ideas?
