I have Lyman molds, and they work well enough wherever they're made. I use a 20lb Lee Magnum Melter for for most of my casting (the Lee bottom pour pot I own sucks!). It works fine, and I've literally made hundreds of pounds of boolits from that pot.

Beware that Lee pots are really influenced by ambient temperature as far as their setting goes. It may seem counter-intuitive, but when its below zero outside you must crank your pot much LOWER than you would when the outside temperature is like 80 degrees. With any Lee pot, it's best to also invest in a thermometer until you get a feel for the lead temperature with experience.

I should also mention that this is the first thread that I've seen that puts down Lyman equipment over Lee. Usually it's the opposite, which is why I originally suspected this thread was just a troller.
