Here's an outfit that makes CNC's aluminum blocks for multi-cavity molds.

Hmmm...practically in my backyard. Thanks Daryl.

Pleasure. These were brought to my attention on Nitroexpress forum by a friend from Idaho.

Yep, seen this on eBay and picked up a .520 for my Kibler .54 love it!

I wonder what the purpose of the X - flyers is.

I'm curious as well.
-
For whatever reason I could not get this site to come up on my device. Do they make single cavity molds?
-
I have been using their molds for a couple years now and are excellent molds. Make sure you wear gloves or the bolts in the handles will get you.
-
How is the size and weight constancy that each cavity cast?
Thanks

The cavities should be exactly the same, being CNC'd.
The X ball in large sizes, might have been an attempt to get better accuracy from a smoothbore.
Perhaps a kind of a cast-able form making a golf-ball effect?)
It will certainly make a lighter ball than one full sized. IIRC the X-ball mould I saw, was .724".

That's what I was thinking......even the golf-ball bit
