Is it possible to enlarge a round ball mold? I have a round ball mold .375, Has anyone ever enlarge one a few thousandths? Its a lyman steel mold. I'm thinking I can use an abrasive covered ball. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The only way I have ever done this is to cut a new cherry and recut the mould. I have never tried lapping a round ball mould but it should work for just 2 or 3 thou.

Sax,

You could Beagle it suppose, never tried it though so I can't say it'd work.

If you watch eBay hard enough you can often find what you need. I waited quite a while to find a .380 round ball and finally did.

Welcome to the site too.
