Thread: mossberg 410 500e

MATE....... you have come to the right place..the wee .410 is one of my absolute favourites...keep your eye out for reloading gear for it...and buy it,you wont regret it. Ive got a very old lee whackamole set and it makes good ammunition very very cheaply.
winchester 3" is a 11/16th oz load thats nearly 3/4 oz which is the old load and can be duplicated by reloading.
the wee .410 is one cartridge that needs to be patterned more than any other guage .
they love one load and hate any other.
winchester shells are always good and #4 has always worked well for me.
strangely #6 havent been s ogood for me and a mixture of different shot sizes the best of all.
rio make cheap shells..they are cheap for a reason... 5/16th oz is pitiful absolutely pitiful
a 1/2oz load of #4s will kill rabbits,thats the std 2 1/2" loading but a 3" load of fours works better. its taken lots of ducks for me over the years,a couple of black swans and even canada geese,up close mind you and THAT IS THE KEY to the 410...25 yards its it....patterns just get too thin out further.
gamebore make good shells too. kee pall your empties..you can get away with reloading by hand...with luck the pump will handle them..a break open gun allows all sorts of crimes in reloading.
get in touch if need any help.
your a lucky lucky man.
