robbiep Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I only use Eley 2.5" 410 cartridges. Nobody else seems to do a fibre wad cartridge. As said, keep ranges sensible - the pattern will fail with some quite large holes at some point, so stay under that, and they're very effective.

kody Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 ok thanks will be getting some tommorow using them in a yildiz full and half choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I use them in my .410 Hushpower. They hit hard enough if used within their limits. As already mentioned, Eley are the only company I know who offer fibre wads in .410. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 when I bought my 410 mossy hush , they told me to use eley fibre not plastics ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimfireboy Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Eley fourlongs are better in #7 shot IMO. Pattern fails before pellet energy in a fourten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlerob Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Yes I find size 7 shot the best in 410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 For 2.5 chambers, If you can get then. Eley 2.5 inch no 7 is more useful than 2.5 inch 6's, if you need fibre. Eley trap 7.5 in 14g is also not bad. If your gun has 3 inch magnum chambers, i would go with 3 inch 19g in 7 shot, gives you up to 30 to 35 yards depending on choke.

dannyboy Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I thought this little article was useful. Confirms only Eley do fibre. Yeh, agree that the 3 inch 19g is the one! http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/reviews/ammunition/410-shotgun-cartridges-review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rst1990 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Eley are not the only company to do fibre in 410, lyvale do fibre in 410. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Oh yeh, the Lyalvale Express is 14g fibre wad in 5 shot I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterling Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 anyone use eley 410 ammo 2/12 inch 6s and 12 1/2 grm These sound like the eley "fourlong". I got it in my head that they were pretty anemic being such a light load, so I switched to eley "extralongs" which are the 3" 18 gram version. That was until I patterned the two back to back through a full choke! As others have said though, I think #7 shot is a fair compromise in .410 and it seems to penetrate fur or feather just fine.

Stonepark Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 No 7 can penetrate to kill small and medium game up to 40 yards. 410 no 7 pattern fails between 23 and 35 yards, depending on load and choke. No 7 is really biggest size (unless special purpose) 410 cartridges should come in, rather than 12 bore pellet sizes {no5 and no6}. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I favour 18 gm of 7.5 in my .410. Good balance between energy and pattern density.

kenholland Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I only use eley subs 3 inch in fibre 6's would 5's be worth a try striking energy better what do you think lad's or another brand ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of energy, but a bit of a sparse pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 o k motty I will stick to the sub's and the standard 3 inch thank you . Ken, I know those 3" eley extralongs you're using are a heavy load (and expensive) and I used to use them exclusively for my .410 shooting but if you haven't already, it might be worth patterning them. In both my .410's they pattern worse than the 12.5 gram eley's and the 14 gram lyalvale's. Despite being subs, they were also louder through my hushpower than standard cartridges. At 25 yards there were holes in the pattern big enough for several rabbits to get through! That's my excuse anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 sterling, I have patterned them at about 15 yard's they looked o k but as you say it could get a bit patchy, I have in some cases had to give them a second shot to get a result. even though I decoy fairly close suck it and see policy.
