I would check with re-enactors for replicas of cannon balls or for a Minnie
bullet.  Competitive shooters of replica firearms most likely cast their own
bullets from molds.

Too bad this wasn't brought up earlier this week.  This weekend our conservati 
on club had a gun show, and I spoke with a Civil War re-enactor who asked if
we had any cannon shooters as members.  The cannon shooters I'm aware of go
up to Grayling, MI to shoot targets up to 2500 meters.
