Congratulations! I wish I had a number of those items. Let me know how that Lee pot works. I really want an electric pot but I may just wait for the funds for the expensive RCBS one.

Nice! I just ordered a Lee 4-20 last night. Can't wait. This website keeps costing me money.

The brown truck makes regular stops at my house! Always good to see more people getting into the hobby!

I took these pictures as I was just finishing up. I left about an inch of lead in the bottom of the pot per the instructions.

It took a few times to get it all figured out. I've never used a bottom pour or a six banger mold either. I had to slow the stream from the spout just a bit until I got the hang of it. After I finally was able to get it, I cranked it open and let 'r rip!!! I'm telling ya that 6 banger takes the cake!!!!

Looks like they've changed the design of the pot. My pot is several years old and has a rod with a screwdriver slot on top to twist the rod and hopefully stop the dripping at the bottom pour outlet. The pot does drip slightly on occasion, but not a big problem. Hopefully the new design eliminates the drip, drip, drip.....very nice toys indeed. Are we having fun yet?????

Sure wish I had a 20# pot. My little 10 pounder seems to run out to quickly.

The gavel is my sprue buster if needed and it works great for tapping the mold hinge to knock the boolits out. Posted above someone asked about the screw driver slot in the spout rod. It's there, it just doesn't show up in that picture. I have never used a bottom pour or a pot this big. It is so nice to keep casting and not having to stop and fill the pot.

How is the drip problem?
Or is there one?
By the way, what part of Missouri so you call home? I am in Springfield.

Actually there is no drip problem at all. I put my ingot mold under the spout to catch any and it's usually just what I let run off by over filling the mold. Yesterday morning I ran a pot full and in the entire time not one drop hit the ingot mold.
Salem........... is close by...

When did you make your order? I made one back in Feb. and my molds were back ordered until June. I made the order with Midway.

Nice, love my Lee Pot. I have seen some drip, but i stir around it and do some jiggling and it solves it. Nice Cast too

I ordered these through Chattanooga Shooting Supplies.......... you have to be a dealer to order from them.
