I really don't shoot much but live in California and accumulated a lot of lead and buying factory ammo is a such a pain now, I'm glad I started casting a few years ago.

Currently using a lee 4-20 and have 10 molds or so (noe, accurate, rcbs, etc)

I'm thinking about a Master Caster. Before I dive in, can that be used with 4-5 cavity molds via bottom pour? I hate to have to spend even more $$$ in new molds and be limited to the molds Magma has. I have a couple NOE molds I haven't even used it.

Maybe the master pot is the way I should go.

If you buy a master caster from Magma it comes with a stand to mount the pot just for bottom pouring. When the pot is mounted on the machine there are too many projections/pieces in the way to get a hand held mold in the correct position. I don't like moving my pot so I just use a lee dripomatic to bottom pour.
