230gr 45 mold?

I've been using the Lee 200gr SWC with decent results, but is there a mold that exactly replicates the 230gr FMJ? I tried both Lee LRN but the ogive is too fat at the base and my CZ isn't fond of it.

Look at this one...

I think this is designed for powder coating, which I do, but if it will work for you just give them a call ask about the conventional lube version.

I have used the RCBS cast bullet (Lyman has one too) for years. The shape is a close approximation of the 230 military hard ball and it functioned flawlessly in my 1911 .45's.
