I have been looking for over a year, and could find one. Pedersoli has a single cavity mold, but it is not in stock anywhere I can find. It must be ordered from Italy.

I just commissioned a gang mold for .315 round balls, and expect it next week. If it turns out to be a good mold, I will list the particulars here. It cost $100.

Tanner can make any size mold you want($35) and Track sells the handles($15)., but the gang mold might be a better way to go. Tanner doesn't have a sprue cutter. Not a big deal for the bigger sizes, but it could be a pain on the smaller ones.
 
I just received my .315 round ball gang mold today. It looks good, feels solid. I will try to cast in a couple of days and will share the results. Stand by.
 
The mold required extensive warm-up, and still only produced 50% filled out cavities. After my initial casting trial, this mold is producing .305-310 round balls; not what I needed or expected.

I have contacted the maker and will let you know the result. I have not named the maker here; if the issues are resolved positively, I will share his contact information.

The old T/C molds for their .32’s were .315. They do turn up on eBay from time to time. That’s where I got this one.

Still looking? I think I have one, not sure about the handles though. May have a maxi ball mold too. chuck
I also have handles, (just looked) the mold does not say .315, just 32 cal. pretty sure is a Thompson center mold from years ago. the balls I have in a drawer with the mold measure .315. I also found the .32 maxi ball mold. Both in very good condition.
 
If you find 2, I would like one.

I know one person who I will check with next week. He has a lot of old inventory.
 
If you cannot find one here, you might see who is going to Friendship in June and have them get you one.
