Trying to find this mould for the .380 auto . . . hopefully a 4 cavity if there is such an animal.

They do exist in 90 grain, single lube groove, four cavity. I used to have two of them.
Are you looking for 356-242 or the 358-242? Every once in a while you can find them on flabby in one or two cavity block in 358-242. In fact, I think there is a two cavity one on there right now - possibly more than one.
I use that one in 38 Colt Short and it can be sized down if necessary for the .380. I have seen them in Lyman 4 cavity but only a couple over the years.
As suggested above - take a look at the NOE. I have one of the three cavities - a beautiful mold. I haven't had a chance to cast in it yet but it will give you the same boolit.
The 358-242 was made in two different grain weights - the 90 ish and the 121 grain. I use the 121 grain in 38 Colt Long as well as 9mm. Good luck in your search - if you can't come up with one, you'd be well served with the NOE.
I was hoping to find '358' since I'm casting with mainly Pb and it comes out smaller by nature of the Pb content. I'll go the NOE route if I must but prefer an old Lyman 4 banger if possible.
Thanks to all who replied . . . charlie, still looking and waiting, I know there's one out there.
