mold for hollow base bullet

[killbears]

anyone know where i can get a mold to make .357 hollow base bullets? according to mike ventorino's book Rapine makes or used to make one. but i get the impression that they're out of business. any help would be appreciated.

About every two or three months someone has heard that Rapine is no longer in business.  In August a member here talked to Ray Rapine, ordered a mould from him and was assured that, as of then, he was still in business.

The latest Rapine catalog that I have, catalog #20 dated 9/1/04, has a phone number for him of 215/679-5413.

It also shows two hollow base, 38 caliber bullets.  One for pistol, #358149, and one for rifle, #358158.

Give him a call and hopefully he is still in business.  Please let us know what his status is.

I bought the hollow base mold from old west bullet molds and it works great!  I use it to make the rounds for my 1851 Colt Conversion and it is a sweet peice of work...all brass and just as pretty as it is functional.

My only complaint (and I beleive it is the same for all hollow-base molds) is that it makes the bullets one at a time...

I would highly recommend Old West!
