Hi, it's amazing on how fast one can cast 0.454" balls using the Lee .454 6-cavity mold. I ripped through 20lbs of the 40lbs recently purchased in no time. The only issue I had was that the new lead ingots are 3lbs and required melting smaller amounts in the pot to have the 3lb ingot fit in my 10lb bottom cast pot. Once I had ~5lbs of lead melted, the 3lb ingot would touch the melted lead and melt in. Every time the lead level got down enough where another 3lb ingot would fit, it went in the pot. I am now considering buying the bottom pour Lee 20lb pot.
If you shoot a lot, these 6-cavity molds are the way to go.
Regards,
Richard
