.480 ball mold
« on: June 17, 2013, 04:32:09 AM »
      I am looking for a .480 ball mold.  Lee nor Lyman list this size.  I don't want a bag mold or something w/o a sprue cutter.   I am presently using swaged .480 balls, but prefer to cast my own.  Anyone got one to part with, or a good source?

Thanks Ron

Larry Callahan makes bag molds any size. Maybe ship an undersized lee or lyman mold to him and have him cut it to size???

The only custom mould i ever bought was from England, no extra charge any size ever, in brass from Jeff Tanner.

http://www.jt-bullet-moulds.co.uk/moulds.html


I've only dropped a couple hundred balls from it but I expect to buy most of the rest of my moulds from Jeff.  My only other roundball casting experience is with Lee*.  No sprue cutter on the JT moulds.


*Lee doesn't put my name on the mould for me.  ::)

Is the .480 mould for a .50 smooth rifle?

For me, yes. Smokinbuck sent me some .475's to try. Worked fine, but I'm trying .480's next.
