I need a .69 RB mold. Anyone have one they want to move to (reply)

Of which we have plenty!

I have a .715" ball mold. Just wanted to try the next size down/more traditional size ball. I want to shoot this gun more. Going to order more BP as well. Need it to work for both this gun and my .45-75 so I've been doing a lot of thinking on that. Any suggestions?

You will be able to make good use of thick denim from old jeans.

Good point. I'm going to be using the ball in a .75 caliber musket.

You may want to specify whether you want a .690 mold for a 12 gauge or a .678 mold for a 69 caliber musket using a patch.

A Lee .690 will cast a nice ball out of wheelweights for a smoothbore. Fairly cheap also. A .678 you'll find from someone the NSSA site.
