Charlie,

Try Jeffery Tanner in the UK for a round ball mold: http://www.jt-bullet-moulds.co.uk/

I believe a round ball mould up to .850 were $45 the last time I checked, and he will make them larger than that if needed. The moulds fit the inexpensive, standard Lee handles.

I ordered a specially sized ball mould from him for a flintlock breechloading rifle I built, and his service to the U.S. is very quick and efficient.
