    Lee Production Pot 4 Element Finally Gave Up

    My element in the Lee pot cracked the other day. I have a new one coming in from Titan. It (tracking) says it's in my neighborhood P.O. right now so we'll see about it getting it put all back together tonight.


    This pot is about 20yo and has cast A LOT of bullets, buck and slugs.
    You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

    I have a Lee pot which I've changed the element twice, the pot once and the rheostat twice also. Did I mention it is over 30 years old?
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    I changed mine last year and added a heavy 3 prong cord to it and a second ground to the base.

    I've had mine since the late 70's. I have replaced the liner, the rheostat and the element at the same time about 10 years ago.
    A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.

    I've had a 4 lb Lee pot since the late 70's and it quit working, so I ordered a rheostat from Titan only to figure out the cord had shorted out. So I added a heavy 3 prong cord to it and a second ground to the base, so I should be good for another 40 years.
