Thanks for the reminder! I have just started using a bottom pour Lyman that I picked up at an estate sale. Had been using ladle/hand pour for several years. I could get used to the higher production of this bottom pour.

I just picked up an old Ideal 31141 that I wanna try out, and my 25-20 lead supply is getting low. If I think about it I'll snap some photos to post.
