A ladle plenty big enough to hold at least twice as much melt as needed for the bullet is good. The new Lyman ones hold way more than enough but the dang handles are to long so it's necessary to shorten them. I run the temp in the pot at 775 for bpcr bullets. I also cast with two moulds , that seems to help keep things very even. If casting with a single mould block then the locking mould handles make for extreme consistency in bullet weight.
