lanber16 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Hi Everyone ! Been shooting alot lately with a moderated 410 to shoot pigeons in areas where nosie must be kept to minimum, never had so much fun and it sure does show you how good a shot you are with a 410 anyway im looking into reloading 410 3" inch cartridges lyvale etc, im going to make my own loading tools to keep costs down.Ive been looking at various websites but with the prices of lead and powder im wondering if its worth it considering a 1000 carts cost £196 anyone know any cheap places to but them? i would buy at claygame reloaders, but how many cartridges would you load out of a bag of 10kg of shot at 19gram per cartridge? and the same goes for a tub of the powder? or a overall price per thousand to reload would be good? Can anyone help? Edited July 19, 2009 by lanber16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 You would probably save a bit of money but not enough to pay for your time and effort. If you want to do it for the fun of it that might be more of a reason that cost alone. you will get 526 19g loads out of a 10kg bag of shot.

Floating Chamber Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 ..and about 500 charges from a tub of SP3. The wads, for their size are very expensive. Best to make wad punches for card and felt wads; they seem to be more suited to a Hushpower, and cheaper. Cut to 16grams too, to save shot! As your shells get tattier, cut them down and reduce wad column. Hand loading .410 is to be recommended as loading presses are geared for the sturdier American cases (hulls) with crimp closures.

lanber16 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks guys for the info. seems like the feature in sporting shooter mag on reloading was just advertising hype for the seller then? there had been another feature in sprorting times which the owner of clay and game reloaders states you can save 60% by reloading your own 410 carts ? ummm got me thinking now...

MadMatt1979 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Lanber, if you PM me your email address I have a spreadsheet set up to calculate the cost of relaods versus new and shows how much (if anthing) you save by relaoding. Also if you want a .410" wad punch let me know, I may have something kicking around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
