I have been casting for about 30 years, starting out with a Lee 10 pounder, that I still use for casting round balls for my cap and ball revolvers, using pure lead.
I purchased a Lee 20 pounder, the year they came out with them. With it I cast everything else. I have literally melted tons of lead over the years with this old pot. The only beef I have with it is the leaking. Not a big deal. I have to say it has served me well, and I continue to this day to use it.
I have always hated the pouring control system, and am considering changing it to a Lyman-RCBS type of pouring control handle. I remember seeing some conversions somewhere in this forum, but cannot locate again.
I am interested in knowing if anyone else has done this and if so, how it worked out for them. I am also looking for ideas, pictures etc. How about buying the parts I need from Lyman or RCBS and fitting them to the Lee pot. Need ideas and help. Thanks,
