Hi and welcome to the forum.
I couldn't find any either for my 51 Colt Navy repro so I decided to cast my own in .380. The moulds are freely available if you are that way inclined.

Isn't .375 close enough? You could get a mould but is it worth it for .005"?
Incidentally, if it weighs 80gns or less then it either has a flat spot or a cavity or it isn't round or it isn't lead
If it's for a revolver, ancient or modern, you probably want .375 anyway. Commercial balls are usually for pistol shooters or Americans which may explain why you can't find .38 over here
Jeff Tanner will make you a mould (and patches) for any size ball you require.

I couldn't find anywhere in the UK to get .380 lead balls. I bought a twin cavity mould direct from Lee Precision for around £17 delivered. I can send you a few samples.

Thanks for the offer Daz,could you mail me so as i could arrange something with you, not sure if i might get some at the birmingham fair next month.
forgot to ask ... what gun are you using out of interest?

Hi Daz , Looking to get back into pistol shooting with a BP 36 revolver, last shot in 98 before having to surrender everything else and losing interest.
Fultons of Bisley occasionally have the 380 ball but inform me it may be quite a while before they may have some on stock.Cheers.
