    Making everlasting 44 Rinfire reloadable brass

    Here's another how too post

    I recently brought a very tidy 1865 Ball & Williams Ballard 44 Ballard Long Rimfire rifle.

    The rifle is in excellent condition and has a 9/10 bore

    I made a single reloadable case from a massively modified 7x57R case for reloadable rimfire
    It was just a proof of concept and I used the single case multiple times
    The rifle functions perfectly and it groups well

    The case takes 24 grains of 1 1/2 FG BP behind a 210 grain powder coated and heeled bullet
