Anybody casting roundballs with a master caster? The molds they have listed only go up to .528 in size. Why not larger?

Could be the limitations of the mold block itself.

I know on large rifle boolits they go to single cavity molds.
I want to buy a .457 round ball but the cost of the mold value how much i shoot makes it not worth it.
I can hand cast 6 months worth in under a hr.

You can buy a Lyman and convert it.
I have several round ball moulds that I have converted ,one is .600 lyman for my small cannon.
