Can anyone recommend a good lead pot, my buddy said a lee bottom pour but are they worth the money?

It would all depend on condition of a used unit. If you can hook it up and make sure it heats it is probably worth buying. A new 20 lb. Lee is around $60.00

what he said, titan reloading has the 20lb pots in stock @ $65.

i started with a 10lb pot and have since upgraded to the 20lb pot from lee, 700gr bullets tend to drain it fast!

the 20lb pot hasn't dripped, but my 10lb pot has alot.

I had a 10 pound lee I used for 30+ years. It dripped a bit but you get use to it and learn how to adjust.

bought a LEE 20# thinking I would replace it with a RCBS when it wore out, 20 years ago and think I will go before it does.:drinks:

The Lyman is a good pot....the RCBS is a bit better in my opinion...is the Lee 20lb pot worth 65 dollars...yes...
