Have a look at African Air Ordinance. They have a large variety, but shipping is DHL and will cost a bit.

Have you slugged the barrel? Do you need .356 or .358? Those are the common sizes with the molds and dies.

I have a dozen .357 molds. The best approach is to try each one, then buy the mold that groups best in your gun. It doesn't make sense to me to buy a $100 plus mold with handles only to find it doesn't group after 10 rounds. I
do offer a .357 sampler.

I have been using my Accurate 36-168j mold few times a week with no issue, using the commercial handles like they call for. I really like the hardware used, everything is quality. I also got this mold used with my slayer so it had some use before me too.
