Jeff Tanner round ball moulds

[Beerd]

Has anyone done any business with Jeff Tanner? He is an Englander who makes a real basic round ball mould. One cavity, no sprew cutter, aluminum blocks. Any diameter you ask for.

I think I need a 0.55" ball to use in my 58 cal (or 24 bore) smoothbore fusil.
A .535 with a thick patch is too loose, use a .562 and .012" patch material and it almost takes a hammer to get one down, so .55 should be just about right.

Anyway, back to my question. Do you have any first hand knowledge of Jeff?

Thanks.

One of the guys at work got a mold from him. It was a ball for a 4 bore blunderbus. I believe he said he sent his payment to an address in the states, to avoid money tranfer fees, and the mold was here with in a couple weeks.

I have bought several ball moulds from him,and they are really consistent,I mean even the 5 cavity .535" ball mould and the 6 cavity .395" ball mould.
i highly recommend him!

I have one of his moulds and know others that have them.All the ones I have seen are brass. No sprue cutter on the single cavity ones I have seen. Nice thing is he will make you any size you want for the retail price of a Lee.

Do his multi-cavity molds have sprue cutters?

[madcaster]

Yes,his multicavity moulds DO have a sprue cutter.If you view his website the 5 cavity .535" ball mould he made for me is-or was pictured there.

How do you get rid of the sprue? Side cutters would cut it off? Do you file or trim the sprue lump? These look like nice molds, I'd only need a single cavity.
