For quite some time i have been doing my casting with a Lee Production Pot 4 and it has generally been adequate for my needs, until now. After my first use of a 6 cavity 45 caliber mold, I decided it was too small and ordered a Lee Pro 4-20.
This brings up 2 questions.
#1 I have read that it is best to lap the valves on Lee pots before using them. Is there a "best" or at least good way to lap the valve on my larger pot when it arrives?
#2 After I put the larger pot in service, I would like to convert the 10 lb'er to ladle use. Is there a recommended way to plug the spout?
Thanks for any advice. Just trying to be cautious with hot lead.
