If you are not in a hurry for the mold then google NOE bullet molds they are an American company but there molds are far superior to Lee and I guarantee they will have a mold to fit your bill and they will post it to the UK. http://www.noebulletmolds.com/

could be costly tho, did think of getting an 8mm mauser C324-175-1R 8mm Remington ,an somehow sizing it down
You could size it down to .314 depending on the kit you have available to do it. I think beagling the mold is your best option if you don,t want to fork out for a more expensive mold.

Why do you need them to be .314 I am guessing its for a .303 have you slugged the bore. Do you know what your groove size is. Slugging the bore is the first thing you should be doing before thinking about buying a mold.
I'd read up on cast boolits in 2 groove Lee Enfield barrels; unless anyone on here has experience (Dromia?), before splashing the cash on a mold. Would seem likely that normal rules for boolit sizing probably don't apply here and what works in a 5 groove may not work in 2.
