I have a old 2 quart cast iron pot that I bought at a flea market.  I use it for smelting over a propane stove.  Zero problem with it except it?s darned heavy even half filled with lead.

I think the one I have is a 5 quart. I?m pretty sure the only thing I have used it for was to boil a deer head .

Yes. I just wouldn't reuse it for food.

I have a old one that been laying in the storage shed probably 15 years. Was just wondering about the oil from it being seasoned.

Can I use a cast iron Dutch oven for melting my lead for making ingots?

I picked up a Herters C Press a few months ago and have been very impressed with how beefy it is.

This one is a Herters C . Im guessing I can use any brand dies with It ?

To start casting and reloading ammo . I picked up two 5 gallon buckets of lead . Was given a Herters single stage press too . Still have a lot to accumulate before I can start loading .
