Ballard rifle question?

bswiv · September 14, 2007, 04:38 AM

I have a OLD Ballrd falling block that is in sound but not attractive condition. It is chambered for .38 Long RIMFIRE.

Is there a place for new manufacture smokless amunition for it?

Any amunition?

I would love to take it to the range and send a few toward the paper.

Any suggestions appreciated.

some of the ballard are stronger then others and can be changed from rim fire to center fire this was a cf & changed to 22 rf ... keep pressure like 32-40 . 38-55 are safe in this gun
