Same as that. I thought it was just me!

Evening, all. I'm after an antique/bench mounted RTO machine in 410 if anyone has one that doesn't get used. Anything considered, but must be in working order. Many thanks. Regards, Rob.

Will do, mate. I probably don't need to tell you that I'm no good at this kind of thing......, All the best. Regards, Rob.👍 I'll have a look. I wouldn't mind both, to be honest. There's something satisfying about using something that is self contained, if I wasn't doing many, of course. Regards, Rob.

Afternoon,all. I am currently looking for an old (antique?) bench mounted RTO machine in 410, and wonder if anyone has one that doesn't get used any more? Worth an ask. Many thanks. Regards, Rob.

Yep, that's them! You wouldn't want to be buying many at that price...., I have fire formed 303 brass for the ol' Lee Enfield musket, but the primers are hard to get hold of. Might try drilling the pocket out to accept a 209 primer. Regards, Rob.

Thank you chap. I'll have a look.

I'll have a look. I haven't managed to find any data as yet.....,

Cheers mate, I'll have a look. Regarding the brass cases, there's a firm in the states that supplies them. They machine them from brass stock stock, and are intended as a direct replacement for plastic, matching the dimensions so that off the shelf wads, cards and 209 primers can be used. Not cheap, but will last a lifetime. Regards, Rob.

Thanks for your replies, folks. Sorry for the silence, had a technical problem my end.....,As has been touched upon, 3f or 2f? And is brass preferable to plastic cases, as I have heard that black powder is hard on plastic? And on the same line of questioning, plastic or fibre wads? Many thanks. Happy Christmas all. Regards, Rob.

Evening, all. Not been here for quite a while, work and life in general get in the way. However, one thing that is currently keeping me awake at night is the lack of printed 410 loads for black powder, or indeed its substitutes. Can anybody here point me in the right direction for 2 1/2 and 3" load data? I fancy using Pyrodex or similar, but cannot find any information. If anyone here has any experience, please feel free to share! Many thanks in advance. Regards, Rob.

I'm **** with technology, chap. Any chance you could send me your phone number? Regards, Rob.

Evening, mate. Is this still available? Many thanks. Regards, Rob.

This is my concern with regards to consistent feeding. I've got a couple of bolt action guns converted to .410 with 2 +1 on shotgun certificate. But these refuse to feed due the flat front of the cartridge, so are single shot by default. Again, something else to have a look at....., Regards, Rob.

The gun is currently held on section 2. As has been suggested previously, you have to wonder if it was previously converted/or produced to fire blanks for film/ reenactment purposes? Nice looking bit of kit. And possibly a good excuse to hide in the shed of an evening. Regards, Rob.

That is very interesting. Cracking looking finished product with the use of the milk carton. Cheers for the heads up, mate. Regards, Rob.
