Have you tried these guys yet ?Yes, out of stock. I expect I'll order from them eventually, though, if the DIY scheme goes poorly.

Rather than the typical 200 grain flat point CAS .44 Russian loads, I used Bear Creek's 246 grain, conical round nose .44 Russian/Special bullet over 5.3 grains of Unique. That is listed in Lymann as a factory duplication load. That should smack the plates with authority.
The GWII (Pietta) base pins are double groove as well (hard to tell from the parts drawing). And I hate Pietta pins anyway, because the groove(s) are only on one side of the pin, not all the way around, so they have to be perfectly aligned when you insert it or it can get jammed.Understood, one of my revolvers is a Pietta, and that pin will be the one I practice on, but it'll have to go whether I'm successful or not.
