Just get a Lee mould, Lyman ladle and a production pot. Then you are master of your own source of ammo.
The shipping and cost of the balls will be pretty steep.

Do you ever make your way down I95 through South Carolina?

They make a whole line of "spru-less" cast lead balls, tumbled to remove sprus and polish them up

Try Eddie May in Georgia. I don't have his tele# avail at the moment but I gave it to you on the other post when you asked about .62 cal Colerain barrel. He supplies DGW, Tracks, LOTS of the ML venders & goes to allot of the matches. He was recuperating from an auto accident so I don't know if he is back to casting yet or not.
Rush Creek makes them, but I don't have a tele.# as if I get balls from them I pick them up at Friendship to save the shipping charges. YOu might try a Google search 7 find it.
I know Roundball likes the Warren bullets, but the 12 boxes I got of Warren bullets are horrible & I am going to melt them down the next time I cast some bullets, whenever that may be. these are 40 cal & 54 cal & the dia. varies up to .004 on almost every ball. Just way out of reason. Possibly a bad batch, I don't know but I have 6 boxes of each & they are all the same.
Course the cheapest way on the .62 is cast them, however you need to be sure of the ball size befor ya buy a mold or you will end up with one ya don't need like I did ! ha ha ! I bought the .610 on & they are too big & then bought the .600 and they are fine. However, since I dispise casting balls, I usually buy mine.
Good luck !

Keith, just to clarify, I only tried to help by answering the question with the name of the only place I happen to know of that makes .62cal balls...I'm no authority on cast balls, etc.
I really only had one experience with Warren balls but it was a positive one...ran a couple boxes of Warren .550's through a TC .56cal smoothbore on a couple weekends...I didn't mic them before hand so I don't know if there were variances or not...but I do know I got very respectable accuracy with them at 50yds out of a smoothbore...
:front:
Does any one have contact info for rush creek?
I ordered from them 5 or 6 years ago but do not have their contact info any more.
I am just trying to get info on as many suppliers as I can.
I am kinda thrifty, so I like to compare prices.
Some even go so far as to call me cheap.

I'm searching for someone who can supply 00 buck for my H&A .36 so far none of the shops in my county can get them. I'll try the big cities of Knoxville and Chattanooga before trying to buy them over the net. I hate the shipping & handling charges on lead products. :shocking:
Slamfire, don't know if you use them or not, but here's over a dozen packs of hard to find TC .36cal / 128grn maxi-balls on EBay

Nah...just experimenting with round balls in a smoothbore back then...didn't pursue it beyond that as I was switching over to flintlocks at the time and the .56 was a percussion...had a .54 flint rifle, etc...but they were the only commercial place I knew of that cast the larger balls.
Well the Numrich rifles had undersize bores. Mine mikes .350 and I'd hesitate to try and get anything larger than .355 down there. I may have to cast some 9mm wad cutters and size them small.
Meanwhile having run out I bought 12 rounds of S&B 12 gauge shotshell with 12 00 buck in each, a mere gross for $4.99 :shocking: I'm gettin' real close to orderin' somethin' on the net.
