Default .54 maxi ball mold?

Anyone know if there is still a .54 caliber, 430 grain maxi ball mold on the market? I'm looking for a spot-on copy of the T/C maxiball. I see Lyman has a .54 conical, but it's a hollow base, unlike the T/C.

I did see a website (NEI, I think) that listed a ~430 grain .54 maxiball, but shows no photos. Base & ogive measurements are listed as .539 & .546, which is about the average of the cast maxiballs I have now, purchased from a local gun store. Think this might be it, but would like to verify since they're pricey. Would hate for it to be slightly different & not shoot nearly as well from my rifle. If I'm going to "take a chance" on a mold, it would be the Lee REAL for $20.
