Love those Ballards. I have 4 that are all factory originals, Nos. 5, 8 , 9, and 10 and all in excellent condition. The 8 and 10 are the earliest known serial numbers for those models. Also a No. 6 that has a George C Schoyen barrel.
Count yourselves fortunate to be able to shoot beautiful old guns in a stunning setting with good people around you . If I had world enough and time I'd be beating your door down . Great video 👍🇬🇧 .
You'd have an invitation, a place at the line behind many fine rifles and a plethora of ammo to feed them with. The grins are always in fashion and very common there.
Ok I'll be first... Love them Ballard's. I have had some sub calibers one in 32 and one in 38. One original 32 and the 38 was a rebore in 38XL. Great video. Bring us more!
I managed to get a hold of an off hand target model in god knows what caliber at first (32-20 length but 30wcf rim, base and caliber). I unfortunately had to cave and have it redone to 30wcf as the custom brass would've cost $300 for 10 pieces
Finnicky caliber to be certain. A good many of us had custom molds made and spent many rounds unraveling mystery. Once found they were GREAT. 38-55 too. Seems every rifle is a story unto itself, though the 10 grin load, with a properly sized bullet and case worked nearly universally. I know the Captain liked 2400 in his 32-40. He sure did well at the silhouette matches with that load.
Just never get tired of watching these. Wish we had the facilities in the UK but that not likely as the government are pressuring us through legislation and other means to give up the sport we love.🤬🤨
@@SagebrushLongshots We have Bisley but the cost is beyond many shooters. Also have army ranges to shoot out to 600 yds. but they are getting restrictive with a lot of red tape. Will keep on shooting till they knock on my door and physically take my firearms though. 😉
