Northern BC, Coastal BC, or Africa. Depends on the
I've given up two very good .41 Long Colt hollow base molds... and as always happens, now I need one. This time, I have a specific idea in mind, and want a custom done with a hollow base. Lee's stopped making custom hollow bases awhile back now unfortunately, even though listed. Any thought's guys?

Can you make a hollow base or hollow point? No.

The hollow base part's the entire consideration, otherwise I'd just use .38-40 molds. Too bad because I like their self design option!

Old West I'd found, but looking for more options, not a fan of brass molds personally and it seems the only material he will work with. Too bad Lee stopped...
 
As I am a fan of doing things the hard way, why not get Mountain Molds to do the initial mold in aluminum (or iron) and then adjust it for hollow base. It wouldn't really be that hard, you just need to drill into the base at the centre to fit a plug you either made or stole from another hollow base mould. A little set screw on the bottom to engage a 'c'-clip on the base plug, and done!
 
Rapine Bullet Moulds

41 long colt.

They are made to order and will take a few weeks to deliver.
 
Never tried the Rapine slug, may one day, however at the moment interested in a custom order. I have a specific bullet I want, I could always get the cherry and make my own I suppose, or as mentioned by Gabriel mod a factory mold. Could have Lee do the design, sans HB, and add it in. Some thinking to do.
