Brothel;
There were several different models of the Ballard chambered in .38-55 caliber. We need a good description or photos in order to tell you which model of Ballard you have.
Looking forward to your reply.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

There are also different .38 CF calibers found in Ballard rifles. So you'll need to do a chamber cast with Cerrosafe to ensure it truly is the .32-40 Ballard caliber.
