The 380's normal weights are on the lighter side 80 to 100 grains...You might could get a LEE multi cavity for reasonable price.

OpticsPlanet has this one but it may be too heavy...http://www.opticsplanet.com/lee-double-cavity-pistol-bullet-mold-number-tl356-124-2r-90464.html (http://www.opticsplanet.com/lee-double-cavity-pistol-bullet-mold-number-tl356-124-2r-90464.html) 

I use that one in 9mm and 38Spl

Lee catalogs no less than 5 molds in .358 between 102 grain and 125 grain in six-cavity configuration.  Any of them should be workable in a 380.  The 102 gr would probably be the best bet for reliable function.

I use the Lee 102 RN and 124 2-ogive, .356 (they cast to .357, and I size them to .356).  Both shoot very well.  There's nothing wrong with the 124, unless you really need more velocity.  They shoot slower, but hit a LOT harder on steel.  Accuracy (if it really matters with a .380) is much better with the heavier bullet and 3.8" barrel.

Looked like he had them in stock. I e-mailed him on Sunday got a reply on Monday saying he was going to make them this week. On Tuesday the web site showed 5 in stock, 4 after my order.

Go with a 4 cavity from LBT WFN you will be impressed with performance and the great bullets that drop from Verals molds
