.44-100 ballard everlasting

[Bobby Ironsights]

Does anyone know about this cartridge? I found a supplier of brass, and I'm curious, the name is fascinating.

The Everlasting series of cases were a thicker brass that could be reloaded more, it did however cut down on the case capacity. To compete with the other powerful cartridges of the time, Ballard made them longer to give them the req'd. powder capacity. You're straight wall cased .44-100 Ballard is an example of this type and was avail. in the Ballard "Pacific" model, a very collectible gun these days.
