IronSight,
Not so much a Waage forum as a very good pot for the money. When you cast with a ladle and turn the mould as in what Ken said, it also helps the air escape for a better bullet weight consistency. I use my pot inside with it vented to the outside so I can watch TV and cast in comfort. I used to cast with a plumbers pot and got tired of casing in the excess heat put out by the propane burners and running out of propane when I needed it most and trying to keep that plumbers pot regulated was a pain. A good electric pot will keep the melt at a very consistant temperture.

Ken H., Kelly O,
Thanks, for the info. You guys convinced me. The issue of reducing air pockets by tilting the mold and ladle is what i needed to make this decision. I can see where the bottom pour method could more readily produce voids or air pockets. Looks like a Waage melt pot in my future.
