I need something in the neighborhood of .630 – .635 for a 16 bore flintlock. Would love to be able to order any custom size I want from Al. Don’t know what the equipment setup is that is needed to do this – but am sure it is a costly outlay. I believe there is a market. Have purchased one from a maker in England – but got a mold that was .006 out of round. His replacement was .004 out of round. Not too bad – but would hope for better. Then again, I am not sure what todays capabilities are for a truly round ball.
I would like to have round ball moulds in .350″, .390″, .454″, .464″, and .570″. I really don’t care that much about gang moulds that could make a dozen and a half at a time. I’d just like to have moulds that actually make round balls that are round, and all the same size.
I used to buy aluminum Rapine round ball molds when they were in business. They were my favorite. Wish someone would start making them in the sizes they had.
