Over the past 40 years I have tried Lee,Saeco,Lyman,and a few other electric melting pots, bottom pour and dippers.
Today I finally tried my new Lee 4-20 pot.
It was a Christmas gift fron last year.
It heated up nicely with range lead and was much faster than my Lyman dipper 20 lb. pot.
The mold guide helped with the 6 cavity molds.
I have not used a bottom pour pot in over 6 years so a little learning curve was in order.
It helps to see the pour spout.
Overall this pot performed a lot better than my last Lee 10 lb.pot did.
Leaking was at a minimum. An ingot mould was placed under the spout to catch any drippings and then the drippings were returned to the pot.
Overall impression was excellant.
