looks like a scaled down 358009, hollow pointed.
I'd try the usual suspects for the base model, and then get it hollow-pointed.
old west bullet molds, CBE, LBT, and of course accurate could always cut you one to be sent off to Erik to be hollow pointed.
Lyman 311-440 ( your mold is a copy of that design) Most likely done by N.O.E. bullet molds or Mihec. Both of these makers can be found on this website. Accurate Molds does a copy as well - But if you want it hollow pointed you will have to send it to Buckshot or Hollow Point Mold Service

I believe NOE makes them too.
That's my picture from this buy:

It's a great boolit and he still has some molds on hand. Check the last couple of pages of the buy for info.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
noe 311440 in RG model, not sure if he has one in stock.
That particular boolit in the OP is the MiHec 311440, cast from this mold:
And lubed with my Ideal #1 and BAC.

The accuracy is as good as most of my other 30-30 boolits. Partly because I only have a Handi Rifle and a 50 yard shooting range. That suits me well in this part of Alabama. I don't get shots longer than 50 yards in the areas where I hunt. (Swamps and bottoms)
I can't much tell you about longer performance from a nice bolt/lever gun in that caliber.
