Anyone load 410?
I put in a bid at Gunbroker on a CZ Ringneck 410. My Red Label 28 just seems too easy for these stocked pheasants.
Does anybody load 410's? I'd be interested in your pet loads.

Re: Anyone load 410?
Those CZ's are sharp! I've been looking at .410 doubles too. I have three single shots, my Enfields are blast but always wanted an o/u in .410. I'm really interested in what the other's say about reloading them.

Re: Anyone load 410?
I have a MEC 700 that I converted years ago to 410. Can't even remember last time I loaded any... Have couple hundred empties, plenty of components just where to start.

I like shooting birds with my Rossi Rio Grande.
I've had fishy-game cops called om me a couple of times for having a "rifle" out in bird-only areas...

There's usually an array of .410 loading stuff on Flea Bay....Right now, there's a 3", and a 2.5" with no bids on them....And, that was just page one.....Old Ironsights wrote:Yeah, but by hand with an unobtanium Lee Loader and mostly Slugs.

Re: Anyone load 410?
Watch those auctions. If they are like the auctions I watched over the past 10 years or so, they will sell for over $100 ea... and probably to someone in Europe.BlaineG wrote:There's usually an array of .410 loading stuff on Flea Bay....Right now, there's a 3", and a 2.5" with no bids on them....And, that was just page one.....Old Ironsights wrote:Yeah, but by hand with an unobtanium Lee Loader and mostly Slugs.

Re: Anyone load 410?
Crow hunting- have not done that in a long time!
H110 & 2400 I tried in the past, think I'll try Lilgun next.
Club I hunt only allows break open guns, hence the CZ I bid on, otherwise I'd shoot my Hi-Standard.

Re: Anyone load 410?
If you look on Paco's web site he makes a Lee Loader type loader.

Let me borrow that loader for 15, or 20 years, and I'll share my best loads with you.GunnyMack wrote:I have a loader, I'm looking for pet loads.

Re: Anyone load 410?
Sure just as soon as I get a couple hundred loaded!
I started my loading career with a MEC 700, that got too time consuming trying to keep up with my Trap shooting habit, graduated to a Grabber. When I got my first 410 I converted the 700.
I haven't loaded for 410 in at least 25 years! Spent couple hours getting the kinks out of it yesterday.

Re: Anyone load 410?
I load a lot of different .410's. Mainly just for grins. Favorite powder is WC 820.

Re: Anyone load 410?
The trick with loading the 410 is a good crimp which due to no flexability in payload length equals finding a good combo of powder volume, wad with a standard payload. Hulls are really only good for 2 firings, the factory and one reload, after that pattern size starts tapering off quickly. If your running an open fixed choke gun a 3-5th reload can tighten up the pattern. I think below 71/2 shot pattern density starts to leave holes and there is no added benifit to 3" shells beyond 10-15 yards.
I've pretty much settled on 296, H110 and lil gun for powders. Wads I stick with rem for rem, win for win except when the crimp is loose then opt for federal wads.
I haven't loaded 410 in about 12 years but shot skeet competitively with about 2 to 2.5k 410 shells annually.

Re: Anyone load 410?
I pulled a load from Hodgen website.
13.3 gr Lil'Gun
Winchester wad
1/2oz 7&1/2's
I loaded a box of 25, had good ignition, no bloopers. Clay birds died this morning!

Re: Anyone load 410?
I don't know if this Cheap Charlie trick works with .410 or not, but as a broke 19 years old with a 16 gauge SxS I'd load them shells until the end would not crimp at all. I'd throw a hand-cut thin wad on top, and a piece of scotch tape....It probably wouldn't cycle in anything, but they chambered, and ejected in my SxS.....It was tough shooting skeet with a Mod/Full double.
