Need Advice For Pouring Weight

[ATA]

I am planing to get a pot and mold for pouring weight, I need advice on both, Specially pricing. I am trying to make heavy weights out of Bismuth, Non toxic and eco friendly. Same thing works for Lead, Will work for bismuth as well.

Please help me to get  good brands for them to have longer life and also better result. Thank You for helping.

You didn’t specify what kind of weight.  Do-It makes all kinds of molds.  They may have what you are wanting.  If it is something that Barlow’s carries they are often cheaper than Do-It.

 

There are various types of melting pots.  You can get bottom pours or units that you dip out with a ladle.  The latter is the most trouble free and probably least expensive.  I am personally only familiar with bottom pours.  I have a Lee and a RCBS.  The Lee is prone to rusting and clogging but is inexpensive.  I used it for 20 years making thousands of jigs but also cleaning it regularly and replacing worn out parts.  The RCBS is a super unit but costs a lot more money.  I have only had it a few years but it has performed flawlessly.

 

I hope this is what you wanted.
