Fishpart states: keep lead just over melting point so you will get less "dross" on top. What is dross ? I know you get impurities which you skim off but I wouldn't think temperature has anything to do with the amount of impurities accumulated at the top.

Also took a look at ProfessorM's site which had the Lee melting pot. Read the writeup on it but was confused as it stated good "up to 1oz" ??? I know I will be pouring over 1oz so why would they state that.

Wonder if anyone makes a bigger "bottom pour" style like the Lee ?

To start off with I think I will get the following molds:

Bank sinkers 2,3,4,5 oz
Bank sinkers 6 & 8 oz
Trolling sinkers 3,4,5 oz
This should take care of most of the boating sinker needs I would guess.
If not please don't hesitate to suggest others.

I have a ton of pyramid sinkers (and mold) so don't need any.
