I finally figured out how to use the Rowell ladle I bought a couple years ago. I knew it would just take practice but had never taken the time to adjust my technique. I wanted to cast some of the custom 432250 RF from a few years back and decided the greater capacity of the Rowell would be a benefit. I could easily pour too much lead and learned to adjust the pour rate to match the mould and started turning out good boolits pretty soon, but the sprue pivot on the mould worked loose before I got any big numbers done. I set it aside to cool, grabbed the RCBS 44-250K HP and spent about two hours with it. I'm really liking the Rowell ladle and wish I'd learned to use it before now. I’ll drill and tap the Lee for set screws tonight and try it again. Tony

File a vee in the pour spout with a triangular file for a finer stream. I've been using a 1 pounder for a couple years.

Yep. I use a one.

And a four for ingots. Good idea on the notch BA. Going downstairs to implement that suggestion now.
