    I have been wondering how much lead the larger Rowells hold. I wouldn't mind having one with a 20+ pound capacity...just for mixing alloy - in the ladle - in twenty pound batches ...and dumping it into ingot moulds.

    Looks like I would need about a #7...

    I've been on that site quite a few times over the last couple of years, but I have never seen that 'capacity' information. Can you tell me where to look?

    Well, as it turns out, Rotometals is the best place to find capacities for Rowell ladles.
    As a matter of fact, after a little comparing, I figured out how the numbers work (at least) on their big ladles. A Rowell #8 has an 8-inch bowl, and a #6 has a 6-inch bowl...and so forth.

    And...the #7 (with a 7-inch bowl) has a 25 pound capacity.
    So, if I ever see one on eBay, I plan to bid on it.
