I haven't got around to ordering my own, but Jeff Tanner Moulds get rave reviews around here. He's in England, but evidently you send your money to a Sand Diego address, and mould delivery is quick.
One thing though- If that barrel is truly 60 cal, a .595 is almost certainly too large. I've got a 62 cal GM drop-in that's small by some 62 cal standards, and it wants a .595 with ticking patches.
You might give Goetz a call or perhaps some of the brains around her can do the math, but I'm betting you might even need something like .585 balls to use ticking patches, if that bore is really a 60.

A really cheap but darn decent roundball mould can be specified to any diameter in 0.005" increments from Dixie. It is there "scissor" mould. Sort of a pain to use, but what a nice bullet it makes. I had one in .630" for my old Lang double rifle.
