I was in the same boat, then my eye fell upon the RCBS 200gr. RNFN mold. Its bullets drop at .359 and cast soft make for great .38/200 (.38S&W) projectiles for my Enfield revolver. The gas check is superfluous of course. I have an identical Lee mold that provides the same return but at .360.

I can slip you some but I have a bunch of other sizes in the queue which gotta be addressed first, if you are willing to wait a bit.

This place sells the original 38 S&W bullet.

I have bought from them in the past and they are slow but reliable.

I’ve used them as well, forgot to mention them.

NOE makes four or five good molds that are meant for .38 S&W, of which I own three (four?). Since I bought the molds I’ve pretty much stopped buying aftermarket cast bullets.
