Lee 20# pot grrrrr

[Don McDowell]

Narrowly avoided trajedy this morning. Was going to take advantage of the cool temps to cast some bullets. Went out and fired up the big lee pot, went back in about 20 minutes only to find a big pile of lead that had of course over flowed the ingot mould that I habitually put under the spout... Couldn't get the drip to stop no matter what sort of gyrattions I put the stopper thru...
Turns out the bottom of the pot has a hole in it, and the melt runs between the pot and the cover and comes out running down the side of the pour spout.
Always said I thought that thing was an accident waiting to happen, and this morning it just about was....
