cannonball mould
Just finished making my first cannon ball mould, it's a 3 in 1 mould, able to make 4oz,6oz and 8oz ball weight's.
I'm going to be making as many of the moulds as i can, the moulds are CNC machined out of solid Alloy, and are a very high
standard. I have seen 1 mould that will only make 1 weight, and it was £17.50, so if you wanted to do 4,6 and 8oz it would cost you £52.50 for the 3 moulds.I will be saleing this mould for £22.50 plus p&p.
If you are interested please P.M me. If there are any other sizes that you are interested in, please ask, and any other comments please post.

Re: cannonball mould
They look good Chris. Just a couple of observations. Where do you insert the wire loops before putting the two halves together and I would prefer a mould that did just 10 and 12 oz weights. These seem to be the weights I most often use (or lose anyway!).

Re: cannonball mould
I make my own; 150g gripper weights and now Namix 165g weights as just got my own mould. Also have plain lead moulds 3, 4, 5 & 6 oz ones.
Yours look great, wouldn't mind a 4, 5 & 6 oz mould if you can do one for shore fishing. I would file my own grooves for the loops.
