There's nothing wrong with the little Lee bottom pour. Cast many, many bullets with it. I went back to ladle pouring and the Waage because of the 500+gr. bullets I'm casting and the 25lb. pot will let me cast considerably more bullets without any down time. One particular mould I have...couldn't get good bullets from the bottom pour or at temps under 870 degrees. Anyway...the difference in the two, ladle vs. bottom pour. Your bottom pour has a spout on the bottom of the pot...hold your mould under it...raise the handle and the molten lead pours into your mould. The dross that forms on top of the pot isn't alot of concern because your clean is coming out the bottom. Now with a pot for ladle pouring that dross and any impurites on top has to be swept aside and dipped out cause you sure don't want it in your ladle when you pour a bullet. Won't let you cast consistantly...weight wise and such. Don't know if that helped any or not. Sure wish some of these other fella's would jump in here and tell you what they use and such... I'm not very good at explaining things. Some probably can tell you about other pots that they may recommend too.
