Thread: Quality "everlasting" .410 shells

#9 is as small as Ive got..and postage would be crippling.
not even sure where you would buy #11 shot size.

@Wingman any plans for the .410 next season? Are you going to try and work up some steel or unicorn poop (tungsten) loads?

Nah strictly lead for me.
Had the barrels running hot opening weekend, the 3/4 and 1oz loads have been killing well.

I also picked up a new .410 for evening strolls with the boy. It's a Turkish modern take on a 120 year old poachers gun design. 3" chambers and removable choke set but twin triggers and exposed hammers with a nice side latch.
I wasnt a fan of the stock design and it didnt close completely up on itself so I reshaped the stock to the petite english straight grip profile of the origional poachers gun and moved the fore end mount to clear the trigger gaurd and fold completely.







Some pics of it along side an unmodified one:

When you say new, do you mean new to you or do you have a link to buy one

closest I've seen is one from sulun arms which aren't in the country yet, delta mike said closer to the end of the year they'd have them in though, (also a 12g with the alofs system also from sulun)

Camerins imported a heap so your local could order one in from them

Did you have any more info on that, a specific model to ask for or a price?
I'll be going into town in a week or so I may enquire with my local H&F

Eternal Poseidon SBS folding poachers .410 RRP:$999

This is awesome. Top notch work, you should start a youtube for this.

Just a heads up
Gunworks have Magtech 410 brass in stock.

Faaark almost tempted to get some...but $4 each and only 2 1/2"

Yeah, I've kept all my 3" steel Berdan primed ones in the faint hope I may one day figure out how to re-prime them

Drill the primer pockets out in the lathe to fit a 209 primer

So I finaly got around to pushing the vintage SBS chamber out to 3" so I can run my full length brass loads in it. I spent a bit of time dialing in various payloads to see what it shot best with.





I gave up pretty quick on the 1oz loads as the patterns with both cork and felt wads were sporadic and showed a lot of shot clumping together in the ugly patten.
At 30y some didn't even penitrate the jib board I was shooting at.





Things tightened up nicely with 3/4oz and 11/16oz #5 loads in the plastic stretch wads

and now you get to do it all again with bismuth if intend to shoot a duck with it!!!
