  "Remington Rolling Block Firearms", by Konrad F. Schreier, Jr. lists the No. 2 as being made for rimfire and centerfire BLACKPOWDER pistol calibers in the following: (rf = rimfire; cf = centerfire)
  
  22 short or long rf
  25-10 Stevens rf
  22 Wichester cf
  22 Extra Long cf
  25-20 Stevens cf
  25-21 Stevens cf
  25-25 Stevens cf
  32 short and long rf
  32-20 Winchester cf
  32 Long Central-fire
  38 Winchester, Central-fire
  There's a .44 rimfire listed, but nothing specific
  44-40 Winchester cf
  
  Remember - these are all BLACKPOWDER cartridges!!!
  Finding brass for some of these calibers is going to be something of a challenge.
  
  For Rolling Block parts, contact:

  Well, this is probably all the news you can use and more than you asked for!!
  
  
  You can never have too many guns!!!
