Try Lee precision or RCBS. They both make lead pots for casing bullets.

Lee is inexpensive. I have used their pots for 20 years.

Keep an eye on ebay. The Lee pots are nice. If you can get a damaged pot even better, as Lee will refurbished (send you a new one) at a much lower cost than purchasing new.

Thanks guys I have seen them but they are too small :(
4" wide pot just too little.
I need something that will hold a minimum of 20 pds of metal up to 40 pds.

Anyone else the best will be a used one like the one I have.

Ok guys your help needed again :) got for a little over 250$ a Ritehete Soldering lead melting pot, 30#, model VSR. 220V

But is not digital. It has a round pome with numbers 1 to 10 :) does anyone know what temperature these set the machine to? I wrote the company and asked they said 1 = 150F and 10 900F so increments of about 84F'?

I asled back but never got a reply.

I probbaly need to melt at 360'F so guess 3.5 on the gauge?

Thanks for all the help.

Chris :)
