Did a search on eBay and nothing shows up?  Do you have a link?
  
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't quite reached my "Expiry" date yet ...

It looks like there is a hole drill in the bullet on one side of the mold.

Hoch’s moulds were all nose-pour and he used two sizes of blocks, governed by his setups for his top-and-bottom combination sprue plates.

When the bullet was shorter than the blocks (as the example shown) he made up the difference with a base plug held from the side with a set screw.

I have one of his moulds for a 77-gr .25 caliber bullet that would be 90 gr or so without the plug.

I don't have it anymore but I had a 44 caliber two cavity pistol mold that was a standard base pour. So he did do some odd stuff on occasion.
