A good indicator of mold/lead temperature is the puddle that forms on top of the mold as it is filled. This puddle should remain liquid for 3 to 5 seconds after the flow of lead is cut off. If the puddle solidifies as you fill the mold, then the lead is probably doing the same thing inside the mold, resulting in a wrinkled, undersized bullet.
The Production Pot IV, Pro 4-20, Magnum Melter and Precision Melter will reach approximately 900 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Pro 4-20 pot will take approximately 30 minutes to melt lead.
