40-63 Ballard
Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2023 6:13 pm
Ok pls dont "shoot" me talking about a Cody Ballard .. have 3 Shilohs and love them but have got a bug recently on Cody Ballards.
Picked one up recently in as new condition, its in 40-63 Ballard (same as 40-70 Ballard). Now its meant to take .403 bullets, cant for the life of me find any .403 bullet mfgs , Lyman makes a mold # 403179 i believe but pouring my own bullets isnt an option. (Yes i know why did you buy it, sorry couldnt help myself was gorgeous and trying to help a family whose father had it out financially). Yes i can rebarrel
So then i thought paper patch ... BACO has some pp 40 cal bullets that allows me to manage the dia.
Anyone here have experience in 40-63?
Thanks
Craig
