Let him know what you want. He has made nine moulds for me over the past several years. All of them have cast bullets that are dead nuts on the specifications I gave him.
Steve's moulds have nice large iron blocks with three alignment pins, thick sprue plates and he usually delivers in about a month.

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

Lee also take a look at AccurateMolds.com   he offers a huge selection in his catalogue (It is indexed by bullet diameter) and you might find exactly what you want.  But if not can custom design or tweak any existing design by letting you vary the dimensions. They're all CNC lathe cut.  Unfortunately for me, I don't think he does any smaller that 30 Caliber. All have a flat meplat--no true pointy spitzers or round noses; but I imagine someone who really new what they were doing could modify his moulds easily enough.

   His site can be a little bit difficult to navigate but once you do so the ordering process is pretty seamless and his turn around time is phenomenal I have designed/tweaked a number of bullets from him and I think the longest time from order to actually having the mold in my hand was under 3 weeks.  A fair number of us here have used his services over the past couple years and I have never herd a word of complaint.

If you are into weight lifting and huge blocks use the other two. If you are looking for something a little more appropriately sized look at Colorado Shooters Supply he has Pope style molds and you have the advantage of having a nose pour mold like the Popes were.

Steve Brooks has made a few nice molds for me.  I wouldn't hesitate to order another one.

Another vote for Brooks Molds. Especially for smaller diameter bullets. 
Also, BACo may make whatever you want (eventually) if you don't mind their putting in their catalog. I like their larger mold blocks.
