Melting set up/pot Ideas?

Thanks, that's a very informative video and your technique definitely works based on your reject percentage, which is much lower than mine.
I have always used a bottom pour pot but I am going to purchase a LEE ladle and give it a try. Shane's (Sbak) explanation, about less pressure, makes sense.

My mistake, LEE doesn't make a ladle like Wayne's. Lyman and RCBS does so I ordered a Lyman from Amazon, $19.80.

Don't knock the little lee ladle, they are cheap and much easier to learn how to ladle cast with. You won't be filling big bore 6 bangers with it, but it does produce beautiful little bullets. I own three different ladles, the lee, the lyman, and a Rowell. I still use the lee ladle over the other two more expensive ladles for temperamental molds
