I once needed such a mould to use in a Sneider conversion from an original 1853 Enfield. I found that the RCBS custom shop had them. As I recall the price was reseasonable, but that has been many moons ago.

I wanted the bullet to fill the chamber so it needed to be groove size rather than bore size. If such is your need then my 1998 catalogue list the RCBS number as 1-800-533-5000. Just tell them them what you are trying to find in the way of an oversize mould and see what if anything they can do for you.
