Purchased my first bottom pour....what was I thinking all this time? I love this thing. OK so lots of folks gave this a bad review because the mold holder didn't fit their molds....that is no reason to send it back! Just flipped it over and boom! Works like a champ. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171016/80ae5c448aa40d5039ba675a583f3c12.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171016/ebc8236659a86c503016678a82862bb8.jpg

Had mine for a couple years - one of the first one's out and have had zero complaints. I took my guide off and used a 1/4 inch thick piece of aluminum on top of a 2x4 for the perfect height for Accurate, NOE and MiHec molds.

Mine works. I just wish it had a stainless steel pot...seems like any lead pot should be stainless.

Does the Mag 25, actually, hold 25#'s of lead? Thinking about buying one.

Tempting...looks like a pretty solid choice...''Pero...es mucho dinero! Doscientos cincuenta y nueve do'lares y cambia!"

Yes it does. Casting duration of 9mm / .38 with full pot is probably more than most folks want to sit through. .224's? lifetime supply!

And man does it heat up fast, much faster that either of my Lees.

Pulled the trigger on a 110V model, this AM. Natchez has them for $236.99 with free shipping on purchases of $49.99, or more. I have a 220V Pro-Melt but can only use it in the garage, where my 220 outlet is, for my air compressor. Wanted another to be used in basement or out on the downstairs covered patio/porch.

Coupon code = FS171023 till 10/26/17

NOE has a replacement mold guide that is about $25 and works great, I recently put one on mine.

That's the sort of thing that usually happens to me! At least it's only $15, you'll forget all about it once you have it and start casting.

And winelover, for $230, you could have gotten the RCBS Pro Melt II... But they are out of stock and overdue.

The new Pro-Melt....just looks cheaper, compared to my old one.

Plus...variety is the spice of life.
