I’m trying to help a friend track down a RB for this caliber, or some way for him to cast one. Any suggestions?

B'eye, Look up Jeff Tanner round ball moulds (sic). I think he'll have what you're looking for: http://www.jt-bullet-moulds.co.uk/

Thats one you probably will not find commercially ,best contact Jeff Tanner to see what he would suggest,What kind of gun is that anyway? Must be a 10 Ga.gun for that size.

Thanks so much-I will pass this along.
He mentioned a “Swedish smoothbore .79 cal cavalry pistol”
Caplock.

That is probably the m/1850 Flankörpistol, it was supposed to be loaded with six .35" balls if memory serves me correctly? :-P

Very helpful, will pass along.
Makes more sense than a small cannonball.
