What about #375449? It is almost the same thing, with a slightly different nose shape. Same weight, and it is still in production so you should be able to get one from Midway or the other dealers.

The last 4 new Lyman moulds I bought were terrible. Out of round and undersize. I would rather buy some other brand then fool with them any more. The ones I have that are good have Ideal on them instead of Lyman.

I hear ya. The Lyman quality has certainly dropped in the last few years, while the price has increased.

How about this?

Tom's moulds are all top notch, delivery fast, and all his designs can be cut to whatever diameter you want. Reasonable prices as well. He has quite a few designs very similar to what you are looking for.

as stated it is close to the 449 but it's also a wee bit heavier , mine's a old one and with #2 alloy lubed and checked cast exactly what it states ( 269 ) not sure on your bore dia. but mine wouldnt work in a 38-55 as many seem oversized even tho lyman list it as used in such in a couple older manuals , it would need beagled or lapped to get above .377 as even straight lino doesnt get me there , it was one time i was hoping that lyman's old quality wasnt so exact lolz , i was hoping it would work in several various 375's i have but it only fits in my 2 375 win's
accurate has several decent looking molds in 37-8 caliber ( the 265D is high on my wish list !!) last i looked there was a mihec group buy going for a BRP designed mold real similar to accurate's 265D
if you need a few castings i could trade you for something i suppose ( pm me if interested )
