    i have a few lee melters but they dio drip which annoyed me so i bought a lyman big dipper which is great.
    i then bought a lyman mag 20 very cheaply and it doesnt drip at all and a pleasure to use......enjoy your casting and i hope your lee pot works for you

    With the svarog mould make sure it and in particular the pin is hot before you start casting.

    Thanks. I have seen the drip issue and the grinding paste fix. I intend to do that before I start.
