Lyman's devastator comes really close to what you're asking for. It is actually designed to be a 9mm mold. I found it to be really finicky in .38/.357 because it is just a tad small. I think I got it to work in a .38 load by tumble lubing it with Lee Liquid Alox twice. It is a real hoot to blast 1 gallon milk jugs from a M92 levergun loaded to .38spl. I think the impact on the jug is as loud as the rifle's report!
I don't know why Lyman doesn't open that mold out to drop a .359 boolit. It's always easier to size down to .356-.357 than to add an extra 2 thousandths.
Try NOE bullet molds.
EVERY GOOD SHOOTER NEEDS TO BE A HANDLOADER.

All it takes is MONEY.
Get an NOE or Accurate mold of your choice.
Send it to Erik at www.hollowpointmold.com and have two cavities of your gang mold converted to HP.

Rojo, MiHec usually has a 125g HP mould on his site for sale. I have a 4 cav that throws about .358 - 359. I size to .358 for 9mm, and 38/357 anyway.
Can't remember grains off hand, but I put a bunch of 296 under some (pb gas checked) in 357 cases.
Have shot them out of a snubby 38 also, moderate vel / pressure, not much kick.
This MiHec mould is my most used mould. My 9mm, 38 Super, 38 spl, 357 mag. And a bunch of friends who load 9mm.

If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.
Note velocities of test rounds in photos above in post #4. While a 4" was used in the actual testing,Originally Posted by rojo
target velocities to which test shots were loaded all approximate expected results from .38 snubbies.

You can't beat the Mihec 129 hollow point and it will fit EVERYTHING from 9mm, 9mm Largo, 38 Super, 9x23, 38 Special, and 357 Magnum.
Lot of options. NOE is your best bet for a dedicated HP mold at a very good price.
look for rg2 or rg4 options in the bullet of your choice.
hi guys , unable to locate MiHec bullet molds web site, please post , many thanks, rojo
Look up MP Molds. He's from Slovenia so shipping can take a minute or two, but every pic that I have seen of his molds is beautiful.
Agree about the Mihec molds I have a 2-4 cavity and a 8 cavity and use them in 9mm and 38
"Yes or no will almost always suffice as the answer"
This is good advice. Go ahead, it's only money.
Looks like the 2 cavity is out of stock. The 4 cavity shows as available.

I have 5 of his 4 cavity molds. Three HBWC and two HP. They are awesome.
