I did my first smelt last night. It was a blast. Of course I realized my five quart pot and huge ladle are too much for casting 9mm bullets a few hundred at a time out of a two hole mould. Now I have to either get a smaller pot and ladle or a Lee melting pot and ladle or a Lee bottom pour. More delays. I am sure an experienced caster could pull it off, but I am reluctant to wield that huge Rotto Metals #2 ladle for pouring bullets.
