Round ball for 15ga

[troy fairweather]

Looking to see if I can find a rb for my 15ga underhammer. My my bore is .677~ looking at lee molds they go from a 20 to a 12ga ball, are there any other molds that would work. Has anyone ever made a round ball mold bigger like a bullet mold.

The cheapest and easiest route is Tanner moulds. They are across the pond but the Pound/dollar thing is no problem. The molds don’t have a sprue cutter, but the design almost guarantees a void free ball.
More conventional Lyman/Lee style molds are made in the US by Moose moulds and Tennessee Molds. These are a lot more expensive and neither, the last time I looked, do online ordering.
All three will make any diameter you want.
I only have experience with Tanner, but both Moose moulds and Tennessee molds seem to have a loyal fan base.

I thought the owner of Tanner molds died of something, maybe it was some else. I'll take a looks. With smooth bores is the fit about the same 15 to 20 thou smaller for a patch.

He did, but either the son or daughter or both are keeping the business going.

Ok good the family taken it over remember when guys were worried where were no more molds from them. I just have to think what size I need.
