How pointy does it have to be? This is what I found with a few minutes searching.

What about a nice 150gr? It's kinda pointy..... as much as a SWC gets.

Lee makes the 358-140, even in a 6 cav too.... but it doesn't come in gas check. You could use plain base checks with it.

OK so if your dead set on this particular type and shape when you say "pointed" then you might find one on evilbay from Ideal or Lyman.
You can head over to the following site to see them,
Castpics Historical Mold References
Also maybe here as well, (where I saw these two at)
http://www.three-peaks.net/bullet_molds.htm
Look up the following ,
358302 - 112gr PB
358093-35893_125gr GC'ed
Then of course there are the ones posted above, as well as some older Hensley and Gibbs, but with those your looking to spend some bucks and time to find. Not saying the other two in either Ideal or Lyman will be cheap, but finding any of them is not going to be a 15 minute deal.
are these still around?
how about the Lyman mold 35893 ?
What I am looking for is to stretch the limits of my Ruger 77/357 rifle. It is magazine fed so it can take the pointly bullets. I am pretty new to casting. I currently only cast bullets for my 45-70 and only have 2 mold one is a 300 grain hollow point and the other is a 500 grain flat nose.
I am having a hard time finding the actual Lyman 35893 mold. Is there a place that can make custom molds? Yeah I am willing to spend a good amount of money on this.

These people will make you a custom mold I believe.

The very first listing in their list of designs is "I want a mold of a new design".

Don't get me wrong Tom makes some damn fine molds and I have a few of them, and plan on ordering a couple more soon.
But he does have some limitations on what he can do as is noted in the quote below taken form his site.
That might be fine with the OP but if he is indeed looking for that Lyman mold as it is, I don't think Tom will be able to duplicate it.
Deja vu,
Your best bet on tracking down one of those is to post up over on Castboolits in the Swapping and Selling section. They have a subforum that is called Wanted. If you post up your looking for that one in particular, and or some of those bullets to try, and bump it up once every couple of days to keep it up near the top or at least on the front page you might at least find someone who might swap you some of them to try out.
Other than there I would check out Evilbay as they are always popping up these older not so mainstream molds. I have picked up a few myself that I thought would be near impossible to find but I did. Don't mean I saved any money, but I got what I wanted.

you sure you wouldn't wanna give it a try before you get a custom mold made?

they look pretty cool, I wouldn't mind finding one of these molds myself.
here is one. http://www.neihandtools.com/catalog/index.html
can't link the bullet. go to top left, click 159 and go. it's the 359-125-GC
so I guess that means they will have it or make it for you 100$ for 2 cav up to 200$ for six cavity
