    I might just have one in my mold collection.
    I'll spend some time looking for it.

    It turns out the mold was a 32362, and you needed a 32361.

    Try LBT. I had Vernal whip me up a 4 cavity job many moons ago based on his small auto design with his personal input, that outshoots rcbs or any custom cast bullet I ever tried! I electrostatic gun powder coat my cast bullets after sizing, and the come out looking like poured glass with no leading whatsoever. Sorry but I would not sell my vernal designed mold for a grand, but maybe you can get one made just like mine, best of luck. I don't know if Vernal is still around, as it has been 20 years since we talked, but the man was a fountain of skill and knowledge, and I'd sure try to contact him if I were you.

    Old West Molds also makes an 8mm Nambu mold - IIRC - they run about $150 for a two cavity - may seem pricey but their molds are top notch that they make for some hard to find bulets - I have three of his molds in other designs and they cast and drop like butter.

    I had one cut by Tom at Accurate Molds. They are super accurate, but struggle in all 3 of my Nambu magazines. As they are RNFP and not true RN, they struggle. If you find a good one, please let me know.

    I've been hunting the old elusive RCBS offering for about 3 years.
