Could you do a vid on the melter you have? I'm really curious about how it pours from the bottom of the pot.

I have 4 lead melting pots currently... ha ha, which one would you want to see a review on? (lyman mag25, lee 4-20, RCBS pro-melt gen1, RCBS pro-melt 2)

The one shown in this video is the RCBS pro-melt gen 1 and is not sold anymore.

@Full Lead Taco : @Full Lead Taco : Which one would you recommend, I noticed the RCBS is on a gen 2 version. I'm interested in starting a nearly identical setup but for loading 450 bushmaster instead of .458 socom.
