I have a Ballard built by Barry Darr in 40/60, his bbl and mold .403 diam tapered grease groove. Krag brass works best as I get occasional case separation when using Winchester 303 brass. Haven't measured but I am confident that it is down to rim thickness variation in the brass that I have. Simply fill the case with black powder with card wad over the top, breach seat a projectile and shoot. Cases form correctly, don't have a sizer, don't crimp only as I only breach seat. Anneal the necks after cleaning the first time they are shot. Currently on my 5 reload with the 15 cases I have made ups from the Win 30/40 brass. Why 15 cases? the competition that I shoot this rifle in is 12 rounds and I have 3 extras in case of a shoot off. Have never shot smokeless powder in this Ballard and probably never will.
