Load Question for 357 Maximum

A while back I read about a Load for the 44spl that esentialy was 3 or 4 lead wafers that were stacked in the shell case these waffers were poored in a Hinnsley and Gibbs mold of the correct diameter and the total weight was the same as a 44 wad cutter,and when fired had much the same effect as a shotgun. Now I find I would like to try this with a 357 maximum but I can not find a sorce for the molds. Anybody have a sorce or an idea where I might find such.Thanks in advance.

  Why not cut them from a sheet of lead?? you could get a punch made for the size at any fabricating shop.

  modoc,thanks for the sugestion but it is not that simple, (you need to have at least one and two would be better) grouves for lube and when combined they must be of correct weight 158gr/148gr. That is why I'm looking for molds they give that. Maybe waffer isn't a good way to word it but for lack of a better description that is how I described it. Maybe someone will see this over the weekend and know where I can find them.Thanks again.
