Compared to the Lee Dipper, night and day. Can poor way more without stopping to clean, its easier to hit the fill hole, less sprue run off and easy to clean. When u parafin your lead, put the parafin in the ladel instead. Let it melt in the ladel and swish it around, then pour the melted parafin on top the lead and dip the ladel a few times..it'll clean right up, then skim your lead.

Very nice ladle. better than the spoon type. I have a bottom pour pot, but it's still nice to use a ladle for small bullets. This is well worth the money.

Works really well. It uses a nozzle for a precision pour so there are no spills. The wood handle insulates the heat from your hand. Just don't drop it when it has the lead.

Had been casting big heavy bullets with a bottom spout pot and not having much success. The heating element wouldn't keep the lead temperature up and the spout would clog. Since purchasing this product I dip and cast straight from a large cast iron melting pot to produce some of the prettiest bullets I've ever cast. The spout allows for a precision pour into the mold and holds enough lead to cast two 500 gr. 45-70 bullets with each pass. It pours hot and direct with a quick fill of the mold. Casting bullets is once again an enjoyable past time instead of a frustrating ordeal. Highly recommended effective and simple way to cast perfect bullets.

It's left or right handed, well made and designed to pour as described. I only wish I had bought it 40 yrs. ago. Get one and be happy.
