    It all depends on what kind of jigs you want to pour. I use Do-It molds, some of which i have highly modified. I've never had a problem with them.

    There are tons of different molds to choose from, it all depends on what you want your jig to do.

    I've got one of these. It works ok. If i get really trashy lead and don't flux it well enough, it doesn't pour so well out of the spout on the bottom. It holds a good amount of lead, but i just get tired of cleaning out the spout. For all i know, i could be doing something horribly wrong, but it gets so much trash in the spout that it just won't pour. Then i have to stop what i'm doing and fool around with cleaning it out (usually i stick a curved dental tool that i used to use for gun cleaning in it).

    My next one will be more like this one. I'll wait for the Lee pot to totally crap out on me first. Not sure how hard it is to pour with this one, might just use it to heat lead, then use a ladle.
