I switched to ladle casting a couple of years ago and I now get much better bullets 32 cal. +-.1 grain .
A problem I do have is I see bits of dirt (dross) on the bullets from time to time .

Is there a bottom pour ladle being manufactured ? 

I have been looking at ways to convert one of my ladles .
Or am I being to picky ?

Dales

In the 1940's & 50's Kramer Bullet Molds (purchased by Saeco  Reloading) offered a bottom pour ladle. The ladle had a funnel shape and a thumb lever that operated a valve like that employed in bottom pour pots. The Kramer ladle held about the same amount of lead as a Lyman ladle. While I was with Saeco we considered reintroducing the Kramer ladle, but after extensive comparative testing alongside the bottom pour pot and the Saeco dip ladle we saw no advantage in the quality and quantity of bullets poured with a bottom pour ladle, it did have an advantage of speed when used with multi cavity molds having individual countersunk sprue holes. Ultimately, the manufacturing costs out weighed the target retail price.

The way to rid your ladle of dross that tends to hide inside is to invert it from time to time and tap the handle on the edge of the pot away from the side of the pot from which you are dipping.
