Thread: Quality "everlasting" .410 shells

https://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...oads-that-WORK!


oh boy will this wee nugget of gold open a can of worms when @Wingman sees it......

Ive been testing some 1 oz loads in the .410 3" brass, so happened to have the little shotty handy when this little guy appeared this morning. I have chickens and ducks sitting on eggs so it was double satisfying to flatten the little shit.

That’s a trophy

I hate those things, had to share a flat with a pet one once. Horrible

Ive fireformed 303 British to 410
Works great
But a forming die is definitely a better way to do it

I form my 38/50 rem hepburn brass with just a 375H&H expander ball installed in my lee universal de cap die

I would do the same for 410 but lee don’t make the right size expander ball

Ive been asked to make some for a mates bolt action garden gun
410 will probably just load up some 38-50 brass (aka) 38-303 with forming loads and just fire them off

The action l locked up on about 80% of the shells, but I've rounded off all the rims so they're ready for any other shotgun.

My #7 didn't pattern well beyond 10m, so I've cut up a few old 12ga shells to try different shot sizes.

There's a lot more case capacity after the first firing, so room for a more felt buffer.

Try gasket cork from an engineering outfit, it's more flexible and better for cutting...

All steel. This one may be for sale in a couple of weeks if I manage to land the vintage s/s I'm chasing

@Smallfoot all the .410s Ive used HATE #7 with a passion....#6 nearly as bad..#8 however is great...and a mixture of allsorts the best of all. havent seen a 1/2oz load of #4s that didnt pattern well...could be the 1/2oz loads are contained inside the wad,the 3/4 oz have 1/3 of payload infront of wad petals.
