now to find one that casts .432 and were they made in a 4 or 6 cavity?

.432" is entirely possible. Lyman made them in 4 cavity, there may have been an older group buy LEE done in 6 cavity, but I am not sure on that.

the rcbs 240gr swc is awful close too.
it has the same nose shape and also takes a gas check.

I had my 2-cavity #429244 opened to .432" by Eric Ohlen several years ago.

The front driving band looks to be narrower than my Lyman 429244, but I don't have one in front of me. Also, my bullets run lighter with my WW alloy...

That looks a lot like a RCBS 44-225-SWC. The nose looks too short to me for any of the Lyman bullet styles.
