Large cast lead round musket balls

[ZUG]

I was looking for a Lee mold for a .735" or bigger round ball mold and it looks like Lee does not make one. I then went looking to buy some already cast ones and I found Three Rivers has them but are out of stock at the moment. Where would I look for some .735" or larger cast lead round balls at a reasonable price?

Lyman makes a .735, I bought one and sold it as it turned out to be too big for the gun

TOTW has 735 balls although not very cheap and also show the Lyman 735 mold in stock

Marty Arms makes large molds, I have quite a few of the smaller ones.

Tanner molds will make you any size mold you want. Yes they are in England. I’ve ordered several and they’ve always been in my hands within two weeks from the time I ordered. Awesome brass molds that use Lee handles.

I purchased 20 of the .735 lead balls to see if they will work for me - if they do I will get the Lyman mold. Thanks to all who replied

I checked on Marty Molds and their molds come with handles and cast four per mold - better deal than Lyman.

I was happy to buy several sizes of balls in 25 ct bags from Track.
A little speedy but a lot less than 100 ct bags or a mold the wrong size.
They even said I could send back the unopened bags which I considered until I thought of the postage…. I’d hate to throw them in the melting pot- I’ll just have to buy a musket to fit them!

I like the way you think, I will be using your reasoning in the near future

Tanner.

You'll have to deal with the sprue but the mold will drop at the desired size if you're using pure lead.

I love my Marty Arms mold. Handle bolts get hot- have to wear good gloves, but it casts great, consistent roundballs.
