I would take your Ruger to a smith that has pin gauges and see what the throats are running in your cylinders. you can do it with calipers or a known size jacketed bullet but it won't be as accurate as a pin gauge. once you know that you can then choose a mold and sizing die that fits your needs.

also i'd look into Lee Molds. you can get double cavity molds with the handles for around $22. six cavity molds run about $35 and usually don't include the handles. in the long run that would be the simpler/easier way to go.
