Have the Devastator mould, want a more traditional one now

[CLP]

I have Lymans Devastator mould for my 44 Rem Mag. I love shooting those bullets and they cast very nicely using hardball alloy once the mould gets up to temp.
I've read many of Glen Fryxell's articles on Ideal's Keith moulds and also those on aftermarket hollow point conversions. I'd really like a Lyman's 4-cavity 429421 in hollow point. I have the 2 cavity version currently, and it's another fun bullet to cast and shoot.
I've checked out some of the hollow point mould manufacturer's sites. Some aren't user friendly and some have been helpful.
I'd like to know what choice any of you folks might have made when you decided to get a non-devastator hollowpoint mould. Did you get an existing one converted? Did you buy one from one of the other smaller companies out there (e.g. NOE). Were you happy with the results? Run into any problems?

Here's a Group Buy that just closed over at the Cast Boolit website:
MiHec 429640 HP or Solid, 2-Cav or 4-Cav Brass Mold
It's pretty much a copy of the Devastator bullet but with more HP options.

The quality of these moulds is indescribable and with two sets of HP pins a fella has plenty of options. I have one on order, but really my favorite .44 caliber HP mould is this Mihec copy of a H&G 503 which is very similar to the RCBS 44-250KT. I posted some expansion tests in Post #90 and a shot of a small buck I shot with the large HP version in Post #104.

It came with three sets of pins; a small HP, a pentagonal HP, and a large HP as well as blank pins for casting plain SWC's. I've never cast from the small HP, but the penta HP bullet weighs 247 grs., the large HP 252 grs. and the plain SWC around 260 grs. Not one hour ago I shot this bullet (Large HP)out of my 5 1/2" Uberti .44 Special at a little under 1050 fps. From a sitting position I got ~4" groups at 50 yds.

Right now there are no active Group Buys for the H&G 503, but if you watch, there will be one eventually.

Surprised you go so much fragmentation (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...hollow-point&p=2501264&viewfull=1#post2501264). At 2:3 lead:WW I would've expected more mushrooming. I would expect that kind of fragmentation with my hardball alloy for sure though. That guys makes some nice looking molds.
