.520 round ball molds
« on: April 03, 2019, 03:36:33 AM »
Just an fyi, Buffalo Arms had the .520 round ball molds in stock a little while ago. They are currently listed as out of stock but it says you can call if you want to backorder. These are the molds that work with the old Uberti Santa Fe .53 caliber Hawken rifles. I know there were a few people asking about these recently.

Lyman made a .526" mould some time ago. That's the ball I use for my chunk of that barrel on my pistol with the .530" bore.

Buffalo Arms is a good spot to find different "makes" & designs of moulds, in the same location.
