This may not be exactly what you're seeking, but I have a NIB Ohaus [iron] single cavity .440" RB mold for sale ($25 + shipping).  The mold comes in its original box & plastic bag.  Said mold has been sold pending funds :)

You could not buy a better mold than the Ohaus mold, and especially for the price!
A 6 cavity Lee mold is a pain in the A$$, some of the balls come out ok, most have to be recycled. Also the mold gets too hot, then your balls come out half formed.
You can cast just as quickly with a single mold as a cheap gang mold.
I strongly suggest that you go with the Ohaus mold.
Please excuse my jumping into the thread.
Best regards

I have several Ohaus molds and yes, they are excellent.  Although most of my rb molds are Lee (also excellent), I've cast thousands of cf bullets with Ohaus and Saeco molds and they are really hard to beat.
