looking for contact info on Eddy May who used to sell round balls he was last listed in Chatsworth, Ga. dead end as has other info.
He hand casts. He provided the roundball for years to dixie. Call him....Did you weigh them for accurate grain weight? I am looking for a manufacturer I can trust and give me consistent .530 balls. I tried Rush Creek and they were off 4 grains for 50 balls. Does he hand cast or machine cast?

He used to go through 5-600 pounds of lead a month. Tough to weigh that many but then he was pretty good at it as well. Never heard any issues with dixie's hand cast that he cast. He would get orders for 10-15,000 roundball sometimes with deadlines. Good luck, he is one of the good ones.Thanks everyone for your replies! I will give him a call and order some. Just bought ebook from Dutch and he states about the difference in ball weights and not to use swaged balls. I'm just trying to order the most consistent balls I can.
I use a Lee bottom pour electric pot and the Lee aluminum two ball mould for my .62 cal 20 ga smoothy. I use wheel weights and they balls seem satisfactory to me. I've casted a lot of bullets but am new to the round ball. I'm happy with what is happening.
