A pour vessel and pour spot for providing molten metal, typically aluminum, to a shot sleeve of a die casting machine is provided. During the process, in response to a pour start signal, the pour spout pivots though a pour hole of the shot sleeve, and the shot vessel rotates to pour the molten metal into the pour spout and thus into the shot sleeve. After some of the molten metal enters the shot sleeve, the process includes raising the shot vessel and pour spot while pouring additional molten metal into the shot sleeve. Due to the design and movement of the curved or spiral pour spout, reduced erosion of the shot sleeve as well as a more laminar flow, more even distribution of the molten metal, and reduced mixing of air and the molten metal in the shot sleeve is achieved.
