sterling Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 How do folks, A quick question for the shotgun reloading sages among you: I'm reloading all brass cases for the .410 which require oversized fibre wads at .430". So after slinging quite a few of these at rabbits to good effect, I measured what I observed to be a pretty tight choke and it turned out to be a scary .376". Fifty thou oversize just sounds bonkers to me so now that I've broken out in a cold sweat, is continuing to swage a .430" fibre wad through a .376" choke asking for a barrel bulge or worse? As always, thanks for any insight chaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Not a problem the wad will just squeeze down to the size., Been shooting brass 410 for year's as sub-sonics. That is the size recomended by magtec for use thier cases. Edited July 15, 2015 by Andy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well that's a relief. Despite regularly working up loads for conventional metallic rounds, the thought of squeezing an oversize wad through a very tight choke just spooks me a little. Anyway, thanks for the reassurance chaps! Now, back to shooting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
