    .400 Round Ball Mould

    Seems Lyman and Lee have dropped these. Does anyone have a good one for sale? Thanks.

    Re: .400 Round Ball Mould

    Unless you run onto a used one, you will probably need to think custom. I know Accurate Molds will not make roundball molds. The guys over at the ASSRA forum seem to know everybody who does custom molds, so a visit there to post a question might help. Tanner (in England) makes any size. His do not have sprue cutters though. Good luck!

    Jeff Tanner's molds are first rate and relativly inexpensive. He also offers a side cutter that is ground to cut the sprue off of balls coming out of his molds at a very reasonable price.

    I have one of Jeff's moulds here. Yes they are super well made and precise. I already have a ancient set of modified cutters. Came from a old friend John Carhart of Ohio. Don't know who the maker was, but he knew how to grind them. I guess I have just became used to long casting sessions with block moulds. This is for a 1852, 13 lb, target rifle.
    , I am going to need a lot of lead cast.

    I don't know much about them but I did see on the site they have listed A .400 round ball mold.

    Salola, until you locate a mold have you checked with Eddie May he does cast a lot of different sizes and the product that he sells is very good. I have bought some balls for him in the past when I needed an odd size and couldn't locate a mold and was surprised at the quality of his casting and the price was good too.

    Looks like there is one on the last page of molds on the Dixie web site.

    Re: .400 Round Ball Mould

    I purchased a .400 bag mold from a member on the ALR site and a beautiful old single cavity Lyman Ideal through a posting at a local black powder shop.
    Thanks everyone here for help and suggestions.
