Chris Bb Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thinks: Would it be possible to get this bored out to take .410 cartridges? Or would it be economically a non starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the cost of it being sent to/from the Proof House, the re-Proof fee, plus RFD fees for the gunsmithing...it'd soon add up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Have seen people use 303 brass for 410 reloading! They needed fire formed, but that should see a 303 fire formed case fit that gun surely! Have seen people use 303 brass for 410 reloading! They needed fire formed, but that should see a 303 fire formed case fit that gun surely! Would love that in my cabinet!

I'm looking into getting it chambered 410 and reproofed BUT its going to add at least £125 to its price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
