Reluctant to reply,oh well here goes;
Been loading cast bullets since the mid 1970's. Other than a slew of handguns my passion is high velocity cast rifles these days. These are firebreather loads that will turn crows and Ghogs literally,inside out. Sayin,these ain't your grand daddy's cast rigs.
Back to topic at hand...
Snagged,more like theft? my 3rd Lyman #61 melting pot off ebabe a week or so ago. Am going through it before putting it to good use. Interestingly,my 1st #61 was a freeby around 1976-78? It was from Clark bros gun shop near Warrenton Va. I was a regular customer in there and had been casting for a few years effectively wearing out a Coleman stove.
So they had this #61 on a shelf... inquiries brought the comment, "that old thing,shoot... you've done so much business in here,take it home". I did,and bought a mould from them to make everything right in gundome.
#2 pot came along from one of the dedicated forums. Can't remember it's particular issue but,cleaned up well and use it SxS it's partner. Think it was $75 ttd.
#3 pot,the one on the bench now was one of those items on the bay that pop up every once in awhile that defies explanation. It was $50 + 15 for the ride. Even came with half a load of lead... duh.
So.. that's what's going on here. Here's a shot of our loading room. Casting is done with professional level vent system(we do inhouse metal dust collection systems and parts for wood and metal fabrication).
