The kinds without seams are ground from a matrix, not injected. I think this is one of those situations where you're never going to be able to make them yourself cheaper than you can buy them.

You could make a mold the same way redman is teaching (questions for redman ) The thing is Shooting polymer is a lot different than shooting soft plastic . I've done both . Trust me for what it would cost to do that Ya could buy a semi load of beads .

Cabela's sells the beads you want in packs of 500 to 1000, depending on the size of the bead. The cost ranges from a little over $7 to $17. There are sites with cheaper prices of course, but none of the places I found promised them free from blemishes or mentioned the manufacturing process used.
