The Lyman Mag25
I put about 12 lbs of cold WW ally ingots in the pot, set the temp to 700ºF and within 30 minutes was casting bullets.

Still not quite perfect, but better.
After lubing and sizing, loaded about 50 rounds.

I like this new pot. I'm sure I'll like the Pro IV when I get the PID Controller also.
I read several stories of, "I heard the new Mag25 has problems"... but nothing specific. I did find one negative. There's no "on/off" swtich. You plug it in to start, and unplug to turn it off.
But, it heats much quicker than my old Mag 20, tho' it's been so long since that was new, maybe I just became used to how slow it'd become.
But, after casting about a 25-30 bullets, it seems to hold the heat well, as I added about 10 more lbs to the pot, the temp dropped to around 650ºF and took about 10 minutes to come back up to the set temp again. It never went over about 6 degrees above the 700º and never dropped below 698º once it'd reached full temp.
Tonite I'm going to search for an inline switch, then tomorrow I'll actually time the performance and cast a bunch more of these 45-225-CAV bullets. They're casting fairly consistently, as after lubing and sizing they're running 237 ±2 grains. I'll also take my camera and get some actual pics.
