I recently bought a .62 cal. flinter. In the past, everytime I have visited the U.S., I have loaded up on .60 cal. round balls to shoot in the beast. But, this isn't a good solution long term. I know that .50 and .54 calibres are widely available up here but I have never seen .60

Question: anyone know where I may be able to buy .60 cal. round balls in Canada? Thanks in advance.
 
If you are interested there is a guy in Duncan,B.C. who sells 500 ball for around $50 but postage would be a killer.:)

I ordered a .60 mould from Dixie Gun Works a couple of months ago. It was quite reasonably priced and came fast. They have a .60 conical mould too. $45US for either.
 
Steppenwolf

What is the contact info for your guy in Duncan? Postage from the US is a killer too. I hate casting but you folks are right about the moulds.

Steppenwolf might not cable right now, we just had another storm go through Port Alberni this morning :eek:
John Bell is who we get our ball from, his # is 250-749-3967, and 500 --.060" are $57, by comparison .440" are $35.
I just talked with John and he's OK with his phone being posted.
Cheers nessy.

I did ordered round balls from Track of the Wolf for my .62 caliber fusil de chasse de Tulle. I use .60 caliber with the thicker cotton patches and .61 with paper patches.

John Bell's round balls are excellent; I buy them by the 500 and only cast for the peculiar calibers.

cheers mooncoon
