Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

As far as I know it's tighter. The Shiloh Sharps use a .446" groove, so smaller diameter bullet and tighter neck. The original two I have are both .452" groove made for a paper patched .446" bullet.

Thanks, That was what I was assuming much like the 40-65 Shiloh.

Rim Thickness I think is thinner too. The 44 77 brass I have was made to fit Shiloh chambers
