[@Gator-357]

I've been using brass shells for all of my shotguns for years. I bought a bunch for each gauge a long time ago. They work really well for blackpowder reloading. You need a few slightly oversized shot cards when loading slugs or pumpkin balls as well as shot so you don't have to worry about crimping. Also with blackpowder, you basically can't overload the powder and the cases last virtually forever because they aren't exposed to as much pressure or constant resizing and trimming like with rifle or handgun ammo. You can use smokeless powder but you'll have to resize and trim the cases and they won't last more than 6 or 8 reloads before they split

[@cw2a]

I never gave much thought to Blk Powder. I need to re visit and finish forming out all my cases.

[@tymz-r-achangin]

Nice how-to video but I always stick with the hulls fold crimp. Saves a lot of time and work. Will also get more reloads per shell than with the roll crimp procedure. Another nice advantage about fold crimping is after the fingers of the fold crimp have finally worn out their welcome, you can then start cutting off the damaged area above the crimp line and go to the roll crimp. I use 2 1/2" Winchester AA hulls, 15.5 gn Lil' Gun powder, the commonly-available Claybuster CB5050 shotshell wads, and then (x3) .375 or 3/8" lead balls. The fold crimp comes right down on top of the ball! I've also used chromium ball bearings and the similar slugs which you used in your video. All of them are very nice loads that I've tested in my Mossberg 500 410 and Harrington 'n' Richard single shot 410

I just picked up another lever action 410. I need to learn how to do this I believe lol. Quick question, can you shoot Hornaday critical defense through a full choke?

[@cw2a]

They are a fat bullet for most full chokes. Its a 40cal IIRC. So Id say probably better not. But ya gotta believe Hornady wont release something that could blow someone up and they know most all 410 shotguns are full choked!

[@jrwildwest73]

@@cw2a thank you God bless

[@curtiseggemeyer5681]

Another way is to use a 410 wad like a Stretch from BP and just cut the pedals off and that is your seal , many ways to do it for sure. I appreciate your video very nice and informative. How big should the slug be 41 caliber pistol wad cutters ??????

[@cw2a]

Good morning Curtis! I like ta size bullets to my bore much as one does with rifled barrels. I can only recommend 41 slugs when you have NO CHOKE OR CYL BORE. Otherwise you could have problems. I size my slugs to my smallest bore diameter.

[@HobbiesHobo]

Who doesn't love the .410's, haha. I have kicked around the idea of casting .40 cal bullets for the same purpose. To start with I'll focus on the .390 & .395 Round Ball then maybe I'll experiment a bit.

😮Turns out you can use Matt's Bullets .41 cal hollow base wad cutters as perfect .410 slugs. Cheap and they fly perfect and straight with 16 grains of 300-MP powder. Give them a try. Just use a nitro card over the powder, a 1/2" fiber cushion wad and then as many nitro cards as needed to get the column height right for your hull.

[@unclearthur9192]

G'Day from Australia, After 50 years of lugging around 12 gauge double shotguns, I recently bought a light single barrel .410 shotgun--a Boito. Enjoying carrying and shooting short range rabbits with it. I'm thinking seriously of reloading the empties with black powder and#6 shot--left overs from when I shot muzzleloaders , years ago. I'd also like to load up some solids--I have 36 calibre round balls, again leftovers from my muzzleloading shooting. I'm not sure of their exact diameter but they roll past the full choke of my Boito. They should fun to shoot and possibly effective on close foxes. What game would you take with your loads? Here in OZ, 20 gauge with solids is the minimum shotgun gauge that is allowed for deer. No buck shot. I enjoyed watching your video on .410 slug loads--it gave me ideas that I can work on. Cheers, Steve

[@cw2a]

Hello across the world!!!! Morning Here Steve! Thats awesome my friend!!! I use mine for Coyotes so if you have wild dog or Dingo problems they would work fine as here. Our Eastern coyotes are 50-75#. Wolf ancestry? They are not small like our western Coyotes of 30-35#.

In hull goes Powder Over powder seal Cushion wad Projectile SOMETIMES a card on top not required. Could be plastic or "oak tag" type not critical. Hope that answers the question. ❤👍🏼👍🏼

[@tonygonzales5792]

How much power were you using per shell? I know the powder is little gun. Just curious about how much grains were using.

[@cw2a]

I purposefully do not say for safety reasons. But all loads are directly from manuals.

[@kfsrmn]

What is the diameter of the slugs and where do you get them? I tried 148 grain 38 spl hollow base wadcutters (hole down) using the Claybuster wads in short shells with inconsistent results. Some key holed. I think I need to slit the wads all the way down to make sure it releases or use filler wads. I am using the Claybuster for shot and 4-000 buck loads in 2.5". Much the same method you are using. I am also making up a light shot load out of 45 Colt cartridges for my single shot. Good snake and pest load.

[@cw2a]

Ya are gonna want final diameter as close to the tightest constriction of your barrel. So if full choked, (like most 410's) that gonna likely be .388-.392 I made these up for my cylinder bore guns. They are .410 so thats what these projectiles are.

[@kfsrmn]

@@cw2a Mine are cylinder bore. I do have a full choke barrel for the pump in the safe and I am aware of the constriction. I have .40" 4 ball 3" load I will only shoot in a cylinder bore.

[@cw2a]

@@kfsrmn OK good! Lee makes a .395 ball mold that I also use for 2x & 3x ball loads. Also EXCELLENT preformance beyond factory stuff!!

I was wondering if a 410 diameter lead bullet would work just as good as a slug what do you think?

Remember only if you do not have a choke. This would not be safe if you have a choked barrel.

🤟🏽♥️🤘🏼💪🏼👍🏼

[@fanbatcher]

What exactly is a .410 slug good for and what effective range does it have? For example, is it good for deer?

[@cw2a]

State to state regs differ. Factory slugs are heavy 38 spl/lite 357 Mag in power and loose that FAST!! Meaning past say 50 yards they drop to 380 power levels... These are fully 41 Mag PLUS power levels but still drop pretty rapidly.

[@fanbatcher]

@@cw2a I also would image a foster style slug would have marginal penetration due to shattering on impact.

[@cw2a]

@@fanbatcher Shattering would be a more of a factor of the slugs hardness. Most slugs for shotguns are cast or swaged dead soft so not likely to shatter but could still come apart if velocity was enough.

[@paulmartin6895]

How are they for a full choke ? I know some slugs you can not shoot in a full choke 410 .

[@cw2a]

These would not be for full chokes. Most 410 full chokes run .385-.400. So thats largest advisable for solid projectile like this.

[@ClarkesonTheMarksman]

Great tutorial. Where abouts did you get your slugs or mold?

[@cw2a]

That is an MP mold. It's made for the 41 magnum and I only recommend it in the 410 if you have a cylinder bore. Meaning no choke at all. Otherwise it could be dangerous because if it's larger diameter. Most 410s run a full choke, which will choke down to about .390 or so making a .410 Projectile Way too large.

[@ClarkesonTheMarksman]

Morning. A half ounce load is 218 grains and the projectile you used was 197ish, 21 grain difference with no disastrous consequences. What would happen if you used the same powder charge but instead used a 230 grain projectile, 12 grains over the recommended weight? Thanks man

[@kirkboswell2575]

What size is the slug mold and who made it? Thank you.

[@cw2a]

Again, this is a 41 magnum wadcutter bullet. It's not originally made to be a 410 slug. I'm using it as a 410 slug because I have a cylinder bore gun. Meaning, no choke whatsoever. The mold is made by MP.

[@joearledge1]

@@cw2a cool, you should try the conditioner. It's kinda like annealing your "crimp zone". If you do try it, just be sure to have a couple of dowels that fit snugly in the hull. You'll want to put the hull on the dowel immediately after conditioning it to let it cool for a couple minutes. It prevents the mouth from curling or shrinking as the condioned hull cools.
