6 cavity $38.49, 2 cavity 19.79 and you still need to get a set of handles for about 13 bucks. From what I understand, this is a very popular CAS bullet.

I believe the two cavity mold comes with handles standard. The only Lee molds that require handles are the six cavity, all one and two cavity molds have handles. Emery

How about the Lyman 356402, which is a 120gr. TC. It was designed for 9mm, but mine casts a .358" boolit.

Good luck. We tried to get up a group buy for this bullet:

which was designed by our own 45-2.1, but not enough people subscribed. NEI catalogs this mold which I have considered buying:

And then there is this bullet I found on the Internet:

It's perfect for my wants. BUT. The guy who designed it and bought the molds from Lee is a real *******; He wants a ridiculous amount for a mold or for the bullets he casts, I mean really ridiculous. And when I responded with a polite, "No, thank you", he spewed forth a nasty venomous email that put aside any possibility of my ever working something out with him.
