I thought so too but the cheapest model costs almost 30quid new- that's with like 12 quid postage so I was waiting to see if I could get one at home.

I'm not familiar with metric-sized balls moulds, since I only cast them to suit my .44/.45cal BP revolvers, but 10mm is a very small ball...the nearest you are likely to find is one that makes a ball for a .32cal revolver - that's it.

Is this for catapult use?

Yes it is- I think 10 mm is about .38

I'm sure to be put right, but possession of a bullet mould that you actually use for making bullets, might be problematical in the Republic, where, AFAIK, nobody either has or shoots a black powder revolver, but perfectly reasonable in the north.

I'm sorry than I can't help you more, as you note, they cost around £25 here on the mainland, and add a couple of quid to mail it to you - IF you live in the North.
Henry Krank of Pudsey Yorkshire has them in profusion.

No mate not at all- but I figured I'd see if you can get one cheap here first cause if your ordering online you can get a much better one for not much more-

Plus why would you say somethingike that - quite offensive.

Yeh mate so what- I've no problem with that- I've given free stuff away more times than I can count- I've also gifted catapults to youth clubs in England and also to competitions, I make catties to enjoy myself, what's the point in paying for a hobbies if there is someone out there that will give it yah for nothing- your doing them a favour by taking unwanted items off their hands- if you think that's bad mate you'd want too take a look at the free section on adverts !!

OP is better off looking at fishing weights as lead ball moulds will be almost impossible to get here due to Ireland not having ammunition manufacturing or reloading in place.

Plus the thread's civility level is dropping dramatically.
