    Look in Accurate Molds catalog at the 43-260v. It looks like a wadcutter with a slightly tapered nose. I'd like to have one of these myself. If you want it to weigh in the 240 range, ask Tom if he can do that. He is a wizard at mold making!

I have loaded and shot these only in the .44 S&W Special cases. On the one hand, not "cheap"; but, imho -- I believe it cost me a bit more than US$100 -- worth every penny!
    BEST!

    A lot of years ago I wanted to play around with checking penetration, or the lack of it, with wad cutters in my 44 mag. I already had the LEE 240 SWC molds so I just loaded them nose down. I don't remember the powder I was using, but I remember making sure I had the room in the case. My memory says accuracy was the same, but I wasn't shooting more than 50 yds back then. I also wouldn't have been shooting full magnum loads. I opted away from the WC quickly so never bothered getting a WC only mold.

    Tom's 43-240W worked well for me:


    And a link to his catalog page:
