Yes - Did some searching and saw Miha will do them also.
Have to wait for the bbl to get back as I'm going as big as my bbl will allow
and might need a custom size.

I think I read the thread wrong. I thought the OP wanted to melt brass and put it in a mold. My bad..

In the northern hemisphere, sometimes you can find them on the ground under brass monkeys.

+1 on the tanner moulds. He will get them in the mail the next day. I love Miha's moulds, but he generally stays backordered.

Tanner's moulds cast very fast. I cast fast enough that the sprue generally breaks off even with the ball and doesn't require trimming. YMMV.

YES AND NO. YOU WILL NEED TO talk to HIM. Mine come out close enough to size I requested w/ pure lead. Mold temp, melt temp and alloy all have a lot to do w/ what size you get out of the mold.
