Who is making good molds for cannon balls and for mortar balls?
What diameter ball would you recommend for a 3.25 inch bore?

My mortar is under-bored compared to the historical ones, 3.25 inch. My current balls have too much windage. Not that I claim to know how much is exactly right.
I'm also looking for a better mold for the gun club's pack howitzer. Our current mold produces projos that are egg shaped, take a lot of grinding to remove flash - truly sad.
