I just looked and they are not closed just stopped taking orders for new stuff til they get caught up.
RMC also makes brass.
Do a google search for custom brass and three or four places will come up. Probably all will be a long wait. You might also check with buffalo arms co for it.

RCC filed bankruptcy
Your best bet will be Rocky Mountain cartridge or Buffalo arms
But beware that it may be extremely difficult if not impossible to export brass from the US to you

Thanks don. I didn’t see that. I was about to order from them some odd cases. Glad I did not.

You might call these folks https://www.qual-cart.com/products.htm

I know they make 44-77, so they can make the basic case if nothing else.

Currently I am reforming 45-100 starline for my 44-90 but I do not have the exact diameter or the right thickness of the base. I live in France and this caliber is obsolete and free, but I find no one in the USA who accepts to deliver in my country except this company to which I had placed an order and which agreed to deliver. I hope that there will be a buyer with the same conditions of sale.

As long as the extractor will catch the rim you should be fine. Once the case is fire formed and you don’t do anything to set the shoulder back during resizing the cartridge will headspace on the shoulder just like the modern bottle neck case do.

I like the Norma brass better for that but in the supply chain we have today it’s more about what you can get than what you want
