Have a Lee bottle poor put. It is the model with greater mold clearence. The problem was it "sagged " I used a simple fix (see photo) Some threaded rods 1/4 in and some nuts.

Next step is to put a rest for your molds!

I have a Lee small pot that was doing the same. For a while I just set one end on something to equal it out but it seemed to be sagging more. I had a large 7/8" bolt sitting there and it fit perfet under it. I use the small pot for pure lead only and the large for WWs. Seems to work well for me since allot of what I mould with soft lead is single cavity or fairly small and I don't make as much of the soft lead bullets. Also soft lead dosn't frost mush if at all so I can just crank the pot up all the way so when I add lead it doesn't drop the temp too much to slow me down.
