The Lee Precision 90949 Magnum Melter transforms bullet casting from a tedious chore into an efficient production process. This electric lead furnace maintains consistent temperatures for uniform bullet quality while eliminating the guesswork of torch heating methods.
What Makes This Different
Unlike propane-powered melting pots that fluctuate in temperature, the Magnum Melter uses precise electric heating elements to maintain steady molten lead temperatures. The 20-pound capacity handles extended casting sessions without constant refilling, while the bottom-pour valve design reduces lead exposure compared to ladle systems. Temperature control remains consistent regardless of ambient conditions or wind.
Key Features
- 20-pound lead capacity for extended casting sessions
- Electric heating elements with adjustable temperature control
- Bottom-pour valve with precise flow control
- Heavy-duty steel construction with heat-resistant finish
- Removable spout for easy maintenance and cleaning
- 110V standard household power connection
- Integrated pour control lever for one-handed operation
Casting performance remains steady throughout multi-hour sessions, maintaining the 700-800°F temperatures required for quality bullets. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent alloy mixing that produces uniform bullet weights, while hunters value the ability to cast large quantities for practice and field use. The electric design works reliably in enclosed spaces where ventilation limits propane use.
