Speaking of casting...
The Lee leaks-a-lot has bit the big one...burned up. The second one leaks a steady stream non stop and no amount of tinkering stops it. They were both bought new in mid seventies so they don't owe anyone a thing. I can probably swap out parts and get something going but there is a Lyman ladle in the drawer. I just never was good with the ladle. I get most consistency with force feeding but soooo much flash from vents.
I hope to give it a try Saturday. I do have a thermometer since I last tried so at least I can keep heat regulated.
