I casted my first bullets tonight using a lee 20 pot and I was having trouble
with the temperature until I threw the thermometer away and just put the pot temp dial on 7 then every thing went well.
The thermometer was reading 900+ with the lee pot dial on 7 so i kept moving the temp down, then the bullets came out bad. I guess I got a bad thermometer.

I may be wrong but since the pot specs say 900 max going over 900 while the pot is adjusted at the number 4 would be impossible.
