Lee Pot Mods

I finally got lazy and ordered the upgrade kit here: https://www.opennrg.com/product/lee-...-upgrade-kit//

However, never being satisfied I added some mold stops to it.

The kit comes with the mod plate and guide but I added a couple stops for the Accurate Mold's two cavity mold. Works pretty good!

Here is a short video that shows the operation for those that might be interested in something similar. Oh yeah, I had to drill the drip hole. Although mine doesn't drip much, still put it in there.

44-40
43-214A

I have two 4-20's. The oldest I learned to cast with, and now is used only for melting wheel weights into ingots. Mainly because it leaks due too the sheer amount of free wheel weights I have processed with it. Where do you get the stops?

The other is newer and is used only with clean ingots and does not leak.

They have some cool stuff. Want to get the full upgrade, but for now I just ordered the lid.
