Finally "bit the bullet" and bought a LEE Magnum Melter. Other than de-greasing the pot before the initial melt and leaving about 1/2 inch of lead in it between sessions...is there anything I need to know? I'll be using a Lyman ladle. Should I "pressure cast" by holding the spout firmly in the fill hole or should I "pour" the cast, holding the spout just above the fill hole? It's been a couple years since I've thrown any bullets so I'm not a complete neophyte, but I'm always willing to learn.
(I also have a LEE Production pot IV but the small sizing makes fluxing difficult. Have an old SAECO dip pot that the temperature control failed. Been trying to wire various things in line to control the heat with only minor success. Router speed control that I originally wanted to try is out of stock at the local Harbor Freight...hasn't been available for over a month.)
