Well I think the title says it all.
As some of you may have read, I'm easing back into casting after about a 15-year hiatus. I gave it up due to time and a divorce that left me a single parent to my precious 11-yo daughter (now grown).
I'm determined to do things right this time around (both casting and 2nd marriage). In my prior casting days, I didn't have this awesome forum as a resource. It looks like a temp control is going to be the ticket to maximizing efficiency and quality of my sessions.
So I've been reading up on all things PID here on the forum. I currently have the Lee Pro 20 pot. I've read Craniums excellent PID build-along from a few years back and when I priced the components at Auberins, it totaled about $120. That's1.5 times what I paid for the pot. Maybe someone has a less-expensive plan or ready-to-go Kit.
On the other hand, it looks like the Lyman MAG 25 is ready to go at about $250.
Thoughts? 3rd options?
P.S. Anyone heard if RCBS plans to introduce a temp-controlled pot? I love RCBS products and would wait for that.
Muchas Gracias!
