Old farrier Posted Tuesday at 18:23 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 18:23 As title mid it worth paying a premium £10 plus a slab for a fibre 410 cartridges when this keeps happening the fiochie is unfired for scale Seems to me that I’m leaving about the same amount of plastic in the environment as I would if I used a plastic wad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted Tuesday at 19:19 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 19:19 looks like 3" cartridges in a 21/2" chamber. Not good why ever it is happening, can't do the pattern any good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted Tuesday at 19:25 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 19:25 (edited) I can only state that Express fibre wad 2 1/2 inch in a 2 1/2 inch chamber don’t do that. Edited Tuesday at 19:26 by London Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberisle Posted Tuesday at 19:28 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 19:28 i had the exact same thing happen with hull cartridges the same ones in 410, change your brand of cartridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted Tuesday at 20:16 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 20:16 Certainly worth giving feedback to the manufacturer .. that’s just not OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargo Posted Tuesday at 20:41 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 20:41 Got a 410 Hushpower and it does that with any fibre cartridges . Had to start using the Fiocchi and no problem since. Don’t like using plastic but needs must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted Tuesday at 21:22 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 21:22 I use these 410 Hull High Pheasant cart’s and haven’t had any problems. In fact they work brilliantly. I wonder if there is some other factor at play….? P.S Just noticed they aren’t the High Pheasant type - they appear to be the newly launched Pro 410. My mistake.

Stonepark Posted Tuesday at 21:36 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 21:36 Be interesting to see pressures for these pro 410 cartridges...... Loading looks to be far too "hot" for hull plastic quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve used a lot of the high pheasant and didn’t have a problem other then a few badly crimped thought I would try these new pro 410 they seem be good apart from this issue thanks for your reply 😊👍 18 minutes ago, Stonepark said: Be interesting to see pressures for these pro 410 cartridges......

Well I definitely won’t be reusing the cases 🙄 personally think it’s a issue with the wad to little wax / to hard dry but I’m no expert thannks for your reply 😊👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted Tuesday at 22:12 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 22:12 (edited) I bought a Webley bolt action .410 least week. These are a 2 1/2" chamber. It wouldn't eject Gamebore "Hunting" .410 (a fibre wad cartridge) which when fired stuck in the chamber. Pulled hard on the bolt and the extractor would override it every time. Tried it with Eley Trap which have a plastic wad and didn't have a problem. So I think, yes, that some brands are not suitable for some shotguns? I think that it is a problem with the "leed" and the case mouth walls of the .410" being thin and the cartridge a high pressure loading. I am imagining the fibre wad forces itself through a tight leed and as it does expands. This then grips the thin case mouth walls and takes them with it?

Fellside Posted Wednesday at 14:15 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 14:15 The tolerances on 410s are very slight and each will have its own minute differences. I’m just wondering if it could be down to basic cartridge/gun incompatibility. My 410 doesn’t get on very well with Gamebore for example, but functions perfectly well with Eley and Hull.

May I ask the make of your 410 I’ve tried these in a browning and a beretta with similar results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted Wednesday at 18:37 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 18:37 I've not used the new hull Pro clay carts .but have used high pheasant in both plastic and fibre wads .both can burn the ends of the case but I've never seen it as bad as that some of yours are 50 %gone . I use layvale carts and fiocchi and these suffer less burning .some nsi carts I have also burn the ends a bit . To be honest .different times of the year seem to produce different results (I find winter the worst actually .) I've a few different .410 guns all with 3 inch Chambers and I get similar burnt ends from every gun . But those hull pro are unreal .I think it's a cartridge problem .and nothing to do with your gun. Ps gamebore carts never seem to burn but these always seem a bit lower powered than hulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HantsRob Posted Wednesday at 18:39 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 18:39 Hey OF, have you tried RC carts? https://shootingstarcc.co.uk/cartridges/rc/rc-410/ I believe one of your island gunsmiths is an importer and so could get those for you, they have a 3" version in fibre stockist; Arnold Heal Ltd 86B St James' St, Newport PO30 1LB T. 01983 523352 W. arnoldheal.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HantsRob Posted Wednesday at 18:54 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 18:54 I don't disagree at all. You'd think they'd be seriously concerned with that and would want to rectify! Id be mortified if my spent cartridges came out like that. I'd share some if I had some for you to try 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted Wednesday at 18:56 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 18:56 I wonder if Hull and the others still regard the .410" shotgun as a training aid for youngsters and just don't care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted Wednesday at 19:37 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 19:37 This is happening in other gauges also. Last summer I went to to a simulated driven game/clays day. During the lunch break one of the other guns said that he was loosing half of his cartridges.?? I asked if he had a hole in his cartridge bag.😆. But what he meant was that his cases(20) gauge were melting just like these.? I looked at my 28 Gauge cases and the same thing had happened to them. Don't know why but the shots did as they normally would. The cartridges fired as normal and the clays broke just the same. I did post pictures back then.

Boss shotguns were better than Purdey shotguns and Holland & Holland shotguns after the 1922 self-opener patent better than either. But neither Boss nor Holland's had a royal warrant for shotguns.
