There are better bottom pour pots on the market, but for the money you can’t beat the Lee.
Two big mistakes guys make with them. Make sure you keep all the junk out, only put clean ingots in the pot, and also don’t use the commercial Fluxes; they will rust the pot and add junk that will cause them to drip, more than usual. Lees all drip to some extent, a fix I did on my 4-20 was to snap a 45ACP case on the top of the flow rod, with the primer out. The primer pocket will snap on to the top of the rod, and then fill the case with Lead, and this weighs it down enough. The dripping stopped |

As the saying goes, what ever floats your boat, this works on mine, and was passing it along.

I have the same pot too, works well enough for me.
I'd really like the RCBS, or even a Ballisti-Cast pot, but that'll have to wait. |

Small world that’ll do, I’m just across the line in Westmoreland Co. I have used the Lee pots for years, once you realize they are finicky, and learn the little tricks. They are not a bad pot for the money.
What all do you cast, and do you use a Lube/sizer. |
