Anyone look at this? I know some seem to to not like Lyman, but personally my experience with their stuff has been exemplary.

It appears to have some cool features, warming shelf, digital. Etc.

Yeah I saw that a bit ago and came to the conclusion that a PID unit from Frozone in the VS section hooked up to a cheaper unit is the way to go.

I actually ordered one at Optics Planet when I first saw them back in March, couldn't resist. Have been on backorder since.
Last I saw is they will be shipping in the fall. Initially the delivery was in June???
Hope it is not a buggy lemon, Yikes!

I also ordered one when they were supposed to ship in April. I have since canceled my order because waiting until fall is for the birds. I'll order a pro-melt. No PID or thermometer needed.

I have one on order, I was told by the vendor that the pots would be in in about seven days give or take three, said I would have it by 6-3. Guy says that he had spoken to the company and had the dates verified, told him though that If I did not have it by the end of the first week in june then the order will be cancelled. Worth a shot though.

I hope that turns out to be accurate; I have one pre-ordered also.

+1

$60 - Lee 4-20 Drip-O-Matic properly tuned
$80 - Make your own PID via ebay parts

if money was no object i would consider other options, but this is a good value if you do it the right way

I am considering the Mag 25 also. My LEE, well I have had enough of the leaking. I have cleaned it and it still, well enough is enough!

Has anyone gotten their Mag 25 yet? How do you like it? I need a new pot!

cancelled order today from Upstate tactical due since they promised me to have it in by 6-3 and called them today and they told me they have no idea when they will actually get more than what they have in, looks like I am now screwed.

Lefty, After getting your new pot you consider selling the Lee pot?? PM me when you are ready...it may sound funny but I could use a dripping pot.
