rbrowning2 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Another vote for SP3 in 3" 3/4oz type loads but I like allient 410 powder for 2.5" 1/2oz loads. Or are you looking to do subsonic loads? Rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lksopener Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Sp3 George I'm newer than most to loading .410 but it's a nice powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm an absolute beginner at loading 410s and went for advice at Clay & Game for a load using non toxic in 3 inch for ducks. They came back with H110 pistol powder and I have loaded up a supply , done some penetration and pattern tests and am happy to go shootin'. BUT, I will certainly look at SP3 now you more experienced have suggested it. At a measured 30yrds with a full choke barrel I am averaging 12 hits in the kill area of the pattern and the pellets penetrated a 3/4 inch thick wad of compressed wet news print and then buried themselves in hard 3/8 ply to the depth of the pellet. 1st October will be the field trial.

Stonepark Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 sp3 In 3 inch 21g fibre in No7.5 and would kill game and vermin to 35 yards and also cover clays. Once your test barrel arrives, let me know as would be interested in getting my hand loadings checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
