Need a Lee Mold - .490 Round Ball

Everywhere I look has them listed as out of stock or backordered.

If you know where I could find any let me know. Single cavity or double - I don't care.

Hi Semisane - go to ebay and put in the Search box, Lee .490 round ball mould. There are at least 3 or 4 listed there! Good luck choosing - MJW

I was going to say the same! I just ordered my .490 ball and .500 R.E.A.L. combo mold for my traditions Kentucky 50cal. from eBay last week.

PM sent to semisane

Track of the Wolf has them but a 30 day wait.....

Joe and Suzi are great people and supply the western states with goodies.

midway shows one in stock but its the roundball/ REAL bullet combo mold :thumbsup:

Possible's Shop has them in stock.

+ 1 on The Gun Works; great folks. :thumbsup:

Just talked with Joe at the Big Reno Show this past weekend.

Check their website specials also. In a real quick look there was a used aluminum Green Mountain .490 RB mold for $15.

Thanks Richard, gut $25.95 plus $11.50 shipping. They've got to be kidding.

You asked who had one as you could not find one, I simply told you who had one.

He is a board sponsor. He is a nice person to do business with.

Complain to him, it's his business, he can charge what he wants for shipping, I simply found you one did I not?

Didn't mean to rile you Richard. And I appreciate your input, and the info from you other guys.

It's just that I found that price really out of line. I bought my last two Lee molds from Graf & Sons. Their price, with shipping and handling, is $27.94. I can't see paying 34% more than the Graf price. That's a pretty big premium.

Try living in Australia, some of the shipping prices I've been quoted are astronomical.

It's odd as my dealings with them has always been very fair. They are good people. Geo. T.

I have no doubt they are good people. Most people in this game of ours are. I didn't question their character, only their price on this particular item.

He is nice to business with.

It does seem lately lots of folks are not happy with the charges they are paying for shipping from all the places, not just M/L places. You have a choice, pay for shipping or pay for gas if you can find the item local.

In the M/L world there are very few places locally who can provide what we need.

You either shop the internet or do without. Not much choice is there, especially when most places do not have inventory in place due to the shortages.

You have shared where you live, not many places to shop are there?

I'm just outside of New Orleans. Three pretty good gun shops within 10 miles. But you're right. Their stock of muzzleloading stuff is pretty slim. Cabala's is about 50 miles and Bass Pro about 75.

If Lee were to have a fire, like Powder Inc., and didn't make anymore you might think that price was low. I know a few people wishing for cylinder loaders.

Thanks necchi. That's a great site. Can't believe I haven't seen it before.

It is good.
A lot of folks know about it.
Something listed as "in stock" can disappear pretty quick sometimes.
I've had a few dealing with them through the years, always easy to work with and hassle free.
