Hi Earl,
I shoot the same bullets in several .32rf's. I have several old and new molds (not for sale), just saying I am a voice of some experience.
You will not find that 299153 mold in an open forum auction for anything less than way beyond crazy money.
You can however order bullets cast from a 299153 mold from an advertiser on Gun Broker for $18.00/100 plus a shipping fee.
The most consistently accurate bullet (new or old) in an number of guns for me has been the Accurate Molds 31-090S. You can specify both heel diameter and bore diameter from a pick of several alloys when you place your order. Mine came to me casting within 1/2 thou at both diameters of what I ordered which is very impressive performance. I would recommend specifying 30:1 (softest they list). This bullet has more percentage of area at bore diameter than the old designs which will help with alignment. Any of these heel type bullets you will have to determine the specific case length for the particular bullet if you need a specific loaded OAL to function in your action (or to put the bullet right at the rifling in a single shot) because the seating depth is not variable as in inside lubed cartridges.
I have found the 30:1 is just soft enough it will bump the heel up to bore diameter with most bullets. 40:1 would probably be better. If you need to crimp the best answer is a modified Lee Factory crimp die sold by Old West Moulds although you can sometimes get away with just running the loaded shell into a FL sizing die, depends on heel dia, case dia and wall thickness.
Hope this makes some sense to you.
Dennis
