For an over the counter mold I like the RCBS 44-250K.
It's close to what Mr. keith called for from Lyman but did not get way back when.
Mine cast great and shoot even better.
I have a pair of the Ruger 50 year flat top .357s and a pair of the 50 year .44 mags that I sent one each to Hamiliton Bowen.
I had him convert the .357 to .44 spcl ,and do his Western Classic job on it and the .44 mag.
I also added Bisley hammers and had him send them to Turnbull for case color .
With the Rcbs bullet the .44 spcl. will do 6 shots in an inch from  80' ,@ 900 fps, and I hardly ever miss a gallon jug from 100 yds,laying on my left side with the gun in my right hand resting on my right knee shooting the 44 mag @ 1350 fps.
I usually keep them in 3' or so from off hand between 200 and 300 yds. 
I've shot a lot of XTPs and Gold Dots  with different loads in those two guns and they don't do hardly as well.
