40-65 everlasting questions
hi fellows, pardon my lack knowledge but can someone reply with some info about the 40-65 ballard everlasting. I know it is a black powder cartridge but can it be loaded with smokeless & can you get cases? Particular rifle has been lately rebarrelled again at 40-65. many thanks

If it was rebarreled to .40-65 Everlasting it is a unique case, and a real oddball. If it was rebarreled to the std. .40-65 Win. then it can be easily purchased. .40-65 Everlasting can not be made from anything else.
