WANTED RB mold wanted

[madsweeney]

I have this 1850's target rifle I'm trying to get back into shooting condition. The bore is larger than .375 but smaller than .380. I could shoot .375 balls with a super thin patch if I hammer it down the barrel. I have a .360 mold but that is real sloppy fit even with a thick pillow ticking patch. If I could find a mold in the .368 range, that would be a wonderful thing. Anybody got one for sale? know of a source?

Thanks
MS

I got excited and went to their website. According to the website, they will not make round ball molds.

Ther is a guy across the pond that I read on here some of the members got moulds from with great results and fast shipping times. Do a search as I cant remember the site, it was not long ago. Hope this helps and he only did roundball moulds!

Sorry. Did not check on that. Just received a bullet mold from them , just assumed.

There are others some one will chime in I’m sure.

I had a 1850/6. Swiss style offhand target rifle that was proof stamped 9.6m/m =.3779".always used Hornady .375" swaged ball. With an .oo6" Lubed cotton patch. Put it down with short starter,then range rod over 40 grains of C & H No.2 .Shot into high 90's on a PL7 at 100M. Didn't seem to mind having it's balls hammered down, Muzzle was choked .0015 for first 2"..O.D..
