I cast with the Lee Pro-4 drip o matic.
When I start a session with a full pot, I have the dial up about 7 or 8, and cast just fine.
As the lead level goes down, the temp goes up, I am constantly adjusting the temp down.
At the end of a pot of lead, I am dialed down to about 3.
Why is this?
Is it my mold just getting hot at the end of the session?
Is the lead really getting hot? (the temp is controlled, I can hear the heat element cycling off/on)
Should I wait longer at the full pot before starting casting? (waiting for temps to stabilize)
