I shoot .432" bullets in mine, using a CBE mould.
They do a 250gn RN and a 260gn SWC - https://www.castbulletengineering.com.au/products/pistol-moulds/44-cal

But he's not operating right now for personal reasons.
He may respond to email though so might be worth asking.

Otherwise you could try lapping a smaller mould out. I've also heard of gapping the mould faces so it throws bullets that are larger in one direction, then running them through a sizing die. You can make sizing dies from 7/8"-14tpi mild steel bolts very easily.

Good tip Re making sizeing dies easily. I’ll look into that. I’m about to order a mould and it’s nice to know I can either buy or make sizeing dies ........according to my research my new 4570 has Ballard type rifling so I’m hoping this just deals with what Proj I buy or make for it Don’t really want to be sizeing proj unless I get a big accuracy improve ment

I shoot .430 sized hard cast lead in my microgrooved 444 Marlin. I use a gas check and they shoot pretty good.

I have a brand new 4 cavity N.O.E RG4 mold in .432", 2 plain base and 2 gas check. These molds have interchangeable pins that allow casting of flat nose or two types of hollow point, ( one normal, one huge ). They are very high quality and cast excellent bullets. P.M me if interested.
