This is the 2nd time this has been for sale with no offers the 1st time. Looks more like a RBRF part 4, 340 to me.

It is a MM-375/TT-170 and yes RBTRF IV Number 340. Love the bullet but it is a common southern bullet and not associated with the Trans-Mississippi and the Arkansas Hog. In fact I think I have one on Mikes site still listed.

It's an MM375. Messaged the seller telling him so. Told him the Baby Hog is .54 cal not .58.  Told him the rings don't even match. He never replied.

The one you have listed for sale seems like quite a bargain now, Michael! It ended up being a $153 lesson to someone. Realizing who the seller is I was a bit surprised.

Stephen if they are worth that much I ought to put the one on Carl and Mike's site back in my collection and have two.

By the way, Mike came up with the name Bottlenose for the bullet.
