lee lead pot melting melt time

Recommended Posts

I leave about 1-2 inches of lead in the bottom of my 10 lb LEE pot and it takes about 10-15 minutes (on 7 or 8 ) to liquefy the lead.

These pots are very nice, 100 times safer, and 100 times faster than the old way I used to do it.... heat pot of lead, usually weighing 10 lbs or so, and try and pour into the mold without spilling/overfilling and burning the crap out of myself.

I would definitely get your pot checked. I have a 10 lb. and a 20 lb. and it only takes 15 -20 minutes before it's ready to use. The directions say to turn it to high when you first turn it on and then back it down to a temp that works well for you. I typically turn it to about 7 1/2 or 8 once it is heated up and fluxed.
