	... since Ellsworth retired in April 2010? This is a remake of the Ideal 31950 (319050) mould and is good for gallery shooting (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Related: Anyone know who Rapine sold the business to?

	He had the business with all of the assets, inventory and good will up for sale for two years prior to closing it down. He told me he wanted to purchase a large motor home and travel, mostly around Florida. The last time I drove past his place, it was closed up and that was last year in the Spring of 2010. I was interested in the remaining finished goods inventory. S & S had some moulds which they ran "on specials", but I believe most of those are sold out by now. Creedmoormatch

	Johnboy I have a proven Lyman 32 light gallery bullet mold. Works real good in my CPA 32/40 Shot it at Conestoga several times. May shoot it again Feb Match. Away from home now but next few days will give you the number and what size bullet it throws. Meanwhile anybody see the same for the 38/55 let me know. Sure miss Raphine he gave good value for the money and reproduced many nice old mold designs Boats

Boats, the Lee Discontinued 375-130-1R CONICAL (130gr) @ Natchez (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Bought it when Lee had it in production. Use it for gallery matches ... 4.8gr Trail Boss. At 1:30, they drop @ 145gr with a 381 base. I lube using Alox Be sure to take the wiggle out of the Lee mold handles. Otherwise the bases will run out from 379 to 384 (voice of experience). If you need the bases smaller, run them through the Lee Lube/Sizer. A five second head pressure pour yields really sharp bases.

	I have the Ideal 32359 and it is a wonderful gallery bullet .The Special Order 8mm Nambu RCBS (105 RN .321 dia) works well in 32's and 8mm's George

	On subject of Rapine molds.... I have been looking for any of the Rapine 56-56 spencer bullet molds. Those that have them don't want to sell them. Tried various N-SSA sutlers...no one has any used ones. Merle
