looks to be time to replace my old lyman bottom poor pot, it just doesn't regulate the temp anymore. I have to constantly adjust it. Seems like it just wants to runaway, I sneak it back and try to regulate but then it drops off to far. playing heck on my bullet weights. any opinions on the new digital Lyman 25 lb. pot? Chaz |

I'm not sure if Lyman is as good as RCBS about warranty work, but I would give them a call and see what they say.
That being said, if I were to buy a brand new pot today, I would probably buy a RCBS, just because I almost always buy RCBS equipment because they stand behind it.

If Lyman will not help you out you might consider one of the "electronic control" units that are for sale. They take the place of the original control and most are accurate to 5 degrees.

This pot is twenty years old, so I assume there is no warranty on it. I think I am going to just get a new one this one also drips from the pour spout and splatters hot lead on you. I clean it regularly but it seems to leak regardless of how you adjust it. I really feel I have got my money's worth out of it. They are not that expensive to start with. That's why i figured they are just throw aways.

Whatever do not toss it. The heater element coil or what ever it is worth passing on to some one who would need one.
Have you tried lapping the spout into the seat ? Lee pots are awful drippers but once lapped mine are right nice.

If you decide to just chunk it, I'll trade you something for it.

Understood, guess it can come in handy in a pinch.
