How long does it take a Lee Pro 4 20# to cool off and lead hard enough to store after use?

Not sure about that pot specifically, and to be honest I don't know that I've ever timed one, but probably somewhere about an hour or so is a good guess.

If you have good insurance just a couple minutes.:bigsmyl2:

It all depends on the amount of lead left in the pot, and where it's being stored. If there is little lead and the pot is stored in a place where no combustibles are close, it'll be cool enough when you can safely handle it. Other wise not until its cold, as in overnight.

You'll have to buy the pot to find out what it does.
I learned that wisdom somewhere.

When you can hold your hand on it!

I leave mine out side on my Workmate over night, so I have never worried about it. I fill mine B4 shutting off.....always.

I have checked mine (full) after an hour and the lead was hard but waaaaaaay too hot to touch the sides.
