demonwolf444 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Some info here - Sorry to jack the thread only posting as it might be of interest to a potential buyer. https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=443703 To quote someone on the forum the original 410 musket cartridge was a 303 cartridge that was not necked down. You could easily fire form 303 brass back out to fit the chamber, searching "fire forming brass 410" on youtube should explain what i mean.
