Yup, that's the one I've got. I just used an old pot and a cheap gas burner from Mitre 10 to melt it, then that ladle to scoop and pour

Awesome thanks mate, time to go shopping

Sweet, let us know how you get on.
Just watched the youtube vid of that mountain storm tool, had assumed it cut in from the side but see now that it cuts down from the top, looks like you could just use that tool and not bother with a roll crimper.
Might be teaching gran to suck eggs but - make sure you've got good ventilation when melting down your shot, stuff can be nasty. I used a fan over top of the pot and a breathing mask thingo, long sleeves and eye protection is the go too
