I found some info on the net that says they made two for the 44-40 that were hollow base. I'd like the model numbers so I can try to track one down.

Somewhere in this house I have a small Rapine catalog which I have been looking for since early this morning. I'm giving this search a break now and will resume this afternoon. Stay tuned.

Thanks! I think one of them is 430210HB according to an ebay sale I was a few weeks late on.

.41LC,

Can't find my old Rapine catalog. Sorry, there must be a stone here that I have left unturned so I couldn't help you. Why do these frustrating events happen? One word answer - disorganization.

.41LC,
Not sure if they are still in business or not. I do know that a couple of years ago they were interested in selling the business.

Here are some hollow based bullets for sale at buffalo arms that just might work.
Possibly they were made from Rapine molds.
A bit expensive though......

Those 222gr look like they were cast off the NEI #246B mould. The 210gr look like what the Rapine would cast. I can't buy boolits across the border because I live in Canada, but thanks.

Good Cheer

Went searching for info on a .44 caliber 210 grain hollow base Buffalo mold that I got to possibly use as a minie ball.
And sure enough, when you look for info castboolits will have some!
