FOR SALE Looking for a mold or balls

[Rebel]

Anyone happen to have a round ball mold from .625-.648 for sale or even to rent out or who would sell me a few round balls to try ? I have a .66cal smoothbore i am looking for a ball that will work better than the double ticking patched .600 i have now.

Ballmoulds.com or Marty’s Arms both make great custom molds.

Thanks.

Thanks.

You’re welcome. I just ordered from both- needed a mold for my 1816 H&P Conversion smoothbore. I got great results from both companies- I’m pretty sure they can make what you need.

How are their prices?

Marty Arms made me a 4-cavity aluminum mold for $100. Had it in 2 weeks. Ballmoulds.com makes a single cavity brass mold. I accidentally ordered the starter pack, which include Lee handles, a small ladle, and a pair of small flush-cut pliers to cut the sprue. I think it cost me about $86. Took about a month due to covid issues there in the U.K. Neither the Marty Arms or Ballmould molds have sprue cutters. I made up a batch of about 40 with the Marty Arms- they were uniform- beautiful casts, I then cut the sprues close and tumble them- you couldn’t find the sprue on most of them. Haven’t tried the Ballmoulds mold yet, but it is very high quality. I don’t think you can go wrong either way.

Thanks. Tanner molds in the UK makes molds also and the cost shipped to the U.S. is $68 American dollars. I had them make me a mold years ago and it was top notch. No sprue cutters on them either. I was hoping to get a good used mold but may have to get new.

I got some round balls coming from a member but still looking for a mold.

Ballmoulds.com is Tanner - I think it is the son now.
