Cast lead round balls for small bore cannon
« on: June 20, 2008, 05:32:14 PM »
A few years ago when the handgonne craze was in full swing, I bought a couple hundred round balls for the testing program.  I just found the receipts for these purchases so I thought I would post the address and phone number of the caster should anyone want something similar.  They are:

Grand Master Bullets
1815 Scott St
Cañon City, CO  81212
(719) 275-6968

Probably best to call before ordering to see what he can do.

Mr president I do not cling to either my gun or my Bible.... my gun is holstered on my side so I may carry my Bible and quote from it!

Bruce Trimble was owner when I was dealing with them so the address is probably wrong now.  Their round ball list is a little confusing since the image for the maxi-balls is the same as for round balls.  I got .678" and .662" from them so it is worth the trouble of asking if you want different ones than they show.
