Challenger molds

[jason367]

Who made challenger molds? Were they made by Rapine? Very similar. Not much info to be found.

Anyone?

Have never come across challenger molds .
I have looked in my older Handloader's Digest Books ...1995 to 1972
Rapine Molds are shown , an extensive line but can find no refence to Challenger Bullet Molds , either by itself or with Rapine .
Do you have a year that it was made in ?

Do you have photo's of the mold ... they might help with ID also .

Says it comes with the original box, not pictured. I think it's kind of reminiscent of the TC molds I've handled. Haven't heard of challenger molds other than this thread and the one I linked above.

I have few Challenger molds. They're good quality.
And I haven't a clue who made them.

An old post on another forum said Challenger was the precursor to Rapine. I have a Challenger .45 minie mold but the box doesn’t give any makers info.

The one harm linked to certainly looks like a Rapine to me.

Thanks. Trying to send pictures. Have a few in the box. The scrolling on the handles are almost exact to Rapine. Have numbers on blocks but not marked other than that.
