PH.308 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi, Recently ordered .444 brass cases for 410 load. I have a lever action 410 shotgun, Any advice do's and don'ts for those who tried it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrowning2 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Hello PH.308 The .410 brass cases are not as popular as one would expect as they use metalic cartridge primers and the Violent Crime Reduction law makes it so you can only buy the primers from an RFD if you have an FAC with a firearm that uses that size primer (as I understand it). A lot of shotgun owners do not have an FAC so they are unable to get the primers. Then there are issues closing the case, You can try a overshot card and supper glue or mastic, because if you "roll" the case mouth they quickly work harden and break. Enjoy playing with them.

I had been told this too as I have reloaded 12 bore shells for over 30 years and had considered reloading smaller gauge due to the savings but a friend who reloads 12 and 20,s said due to the higher pressures he had never considered .410 as being safe yet he also reloads centrefire rounds , its correct about the primers if using brass shells you need rifle/pistol primers and fac. to purchase them .

sitsinhedges Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Plus I understand that normal wads don't fit properly either. Trying to load these brass cases really is a hiding to nothing and there's no data. Just get some suitable plastic ones and use a known recipe.

theshootist Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've tried Magtech .410 brass. It used a large rifle primer too. Not sure why they don't use 209 shotgun primers like plastic hulls. I got them to run through my Winchester 9410. I have had pretty poor results tbh.
