Bronk, I use a Lee 4-20 Bottom Pour Pot that i have Modified the Spout to Dump faster (Spout hole Drilled 3/32”) Without the Modification, These Bottom Pour Pots Don’t Dump Enough Lead, Fast Enough to Fill these Big 400 Plus Grain Muzzleloader Bullets before they Start to Cool. I like to Run my Lead/Alloy at 750-800 Degrees. I Actually have a Casting Video on my YouTube Channel, it’s on the Long Side, But it Shows How i do This
This Particular Mold is a Nose Pour, So the Sprue would be the Tiny Nose Meplat. These Bullets came out FLAWLESS, But if you read my Post above to Mike, They didn’t come easy this Time, Me and This Mold Argue a LOT
And it is one of the Most Expensive Molds i own, Right at 200 Bucks
But the Bullets This Thing Casts is 1 of my ABSOLUTE Favorites
