Try this guy: jeff.ballmoulds@talktalk.net He'll make a .601" - .850" brass RB mould (no sprue cutter) for $45 + postage.

Another option is sizing down a .690 Lee ball. It sounds funky, but works pretty well. I was going to buy one of the above molds, but after good results with the Lee balls, I decided it wasn't necessary. I posted a thread with pictures of this a while ago, here:

You can make a sizer nut yourself if you have some big drill bits, a vise, and a cordless drill, but if not, someone here should be able to. Maybe Buckshot?

Dixie Gun Works makes custom RB moulds, or did as of a few years ago. Might check with them.

I have a .695 Lyman RB mold if it will work for you. If you need it, will let it go for $25 plus shipping. Best regards, John the toolman.

Thanks but my bore is 688 so the 695 will not work.
A friend gave me some 682 to try. So I will start there. once I know what the 1842 like I will get my mold.
Right now trying to find a selection makers to go too.

John: Since 59sharps passed on the RB mold I'd like to have it. I'll send you a PM.

Maven is correct Jeff Tanner will just about make you any kind of round ball mold. I currently have six of his molds including some odd diameters. They are made out of brass and so far I have had no problems.
