.410 light loads?

[1894cfan]

Was just watching a utube video on the 9mm flobert shotgun and thought about downloading my Mossberg .410. Anybody have any recommendations on that? Have some 7 1/2 and 9 birdshot along with bullseye, unique and 2400 powder.

Gamekeeper or Nathan had a light load, whomever it was sent me the recipe but I don't remember what it is...

Send each a PM, I'm sure they will share it with you!

I dunno. Will that really make a cat sneeze?

Thanks, Gunny. I'll check it out tomorrow, Sat. in 2.5" hulls.

Nath's load will certainly do the job on close range vermin where shot damage is a consideration, I have used 9mm Flobert on and off for that reason for years, I sold my last Flobert as cartridges were expensive and hard to find, now I just use Eley two inch shells with 9 grams of 7 shot but they can punch holes in things that you don't want perforated. The Flobert velocity is about 600 FPS the Eley 2" is about 1200 FPS .

Little 2" shells not to be confused with 2 1/2".

I haven't tried this load so I can not say it's a cat sneeze load.

A lot of 12 gauge only guys think any .410 load is a Cat sneeze

But those of us that know the 410 will do everything a 12 will do. Excluding those crazy waterfowl loads.
I've got a published load for a 38cal round ball that does darn near 2700 fps from the 410- the few I tried were quite potent, hit a gong chain and it did some significant damage!

Sadly the load shoots quite high from my CZ, need to try some from my Hi Standard pump.
I wouldn't be concerned about trying that load on deer!

gamekeeper;
UNFORTUNATELY, I live In Kalifornication and can't buy ammo here so am forced to load my own!

Road trip to Nevada ?!

Good idea since BOTH local gun shops don't carry ammo! Oh, and one doesn't sell gun parts, just guns!

Sounds fantastic. Now I'm thinking how much more ammo I could carry if I ditched the 12 and the 20, for the 410 Chain Snapper !
