Reloading 410 with a Homemade Press

[@kennyharbison4568]

If it looks stupid but it works then it isn't stupid.

[@7316bobe]

Unfair comment Kenny. The only stupid thing to be seen around here is you Kenny. This is a good easy to make reloader that is helping me and probably hundred's of other .410 reloading people that have seen the video. Good work on producing this video Trevor.

[@mohamedfaroukbalouli7809]

It doesn't look stupid at all, it's your thinking that is so shallw

[@jonjohnson102]

He didnt say it was stupid tho

[@marcuszucc4780]

He's saying it's not stupid because it actually works

Good enough and well done. This is the best home made .410 loading video that I have seen so far.

[@s.c.coleman4774]

Most useful video on KZbin that I've seen so far

[@ethanisaacson7860]

410 is an amazing shotgun caliber

[@steinrich56]

Neat bit of home made engineering.......and there is the satisfaction of saying..."I made it myself".......Thanks for the vid, and it has given me ideas to help me reload my own 410 stuff.

[@manofthetombs]

Thank you for this! I now have hope I can make my own .410 fleshettes, nail loads, fragmentation, and self defense rounds

[@jhente]

Glad this showed on my feed. Thank you for taking the time to upload this! Been toying with the idea of attaching MEC & BPI crimping parts to my Lee press for 410.

[@Peanutdinos3000]

It definitely expedites the crimping process, happy loading!

[@MrBillinoregon]

Thanks Trevor. May the Force be with you always.

[@edwardkawecki8101]

Excellent design and video I too am starting to reload my own 410 shells, fortunately in my little home Workshop I have a nice little lathe and milling machine which is going to allow me to really dial in my reloader either making it totally separate or making an addition to my Lee reloader that I use for reloading my brass. I'm sure you also would benefit if you found yourself a nice little lathe and mill at the right price for all your projects. Thanks for taking the time to show your reloader and process. I see you can reload comfortably the 410 in approximately 45 seconds each, what a money saver!!!

[@longjohn439]

Very impressive! I can see a few possibilities for improvement but it work very well as it is. Well done.

[@sergioscheider4715]

Thanks for the plans, you're a genius. Greetings from Argentina

[@tompuckett9937]

Great project my friend!!! Very simple and the shells come out looking far better than most 410 reloads I’ve seen at the gun club!!!!!

[@bobbythompson3544]

Great work, the price of .410 shells is crazy, most beginners use this calibre, all ammunition is getting out of hand in general, shooting is being taken off shooters on low wages!

[@carltornblom3648]

So great to see things like this!

[@johnbovinich8258]

Thank you for providing the drawings! I just purchased 2 boxes of 410 shells for $60 bucks, unreal! I'm going to build this!

[@johnbovinich8258]

I was going through you drawings and found there were no dimensions dor the decanting, priming and final crimp rod. Is the drawing to 1 to 1 scale or can you provide the dimensions? Thanks, great work on the drawings!

[@jforo3281948]

what about resizing?

[@rjstewart]

Nice build. Yea, I don't understand why Lee doesn't offer a press for 410 considering the cost of 410 shells! It's not worth it to reload 12 ga birdshot (for me anyway) but 410 is definitely worth the hassle!

[@SirNomad]

They said that they can't get the tooling right to do it safely I think.

[@dblaim9004]

They say on website it's to hard to make i think they just don't wanna do it

[@willjenkins6417]

I am amazed. I have been wanting to reload 410 shells for a while now.

[@darrendehart8367]

Nice job when you get a rhythm you really crank them out

[@tonyasadulin1296]

this looks fun 2 do in a cabin During winter !

[@JAYoung08231981]

I love the crimping technique. Everything about this setup very cleaver but I was wondering as I was watching what kind of DIY gadget you had come up with.... Very nice indeed!

[@easternWashington.]

I like your ingenuity

[@jasonhewitt2292]

You should sell these. I would buy one. Great idea.

[@Peanutdinos3000]

Jason hewitt if the form factor was improved I would likely purchase one myself. It’s been almost 3 years, perhaps an update is in order.

[@ZERO_42069]

Any plans on making another? Id love to buy one

[@87xfute]

Love it !! Just love it !! I find reloading VERY therapeutic !! Seeya Rob

[@twintwo1429]

Thanks for sharing your design. I've already seen two improvements to it by other you tubers. Same goes for commercial tools.

[@seanprice7526]

That is really cool good job. I love it when people make there own stuff.

[@rodgercolton8314]

This was awesome. I never had a 410, but a friend of mine just got one for his son for christmas and we couldn't find much out there for reloading it. Your video was very well done and helpful in showing the steps you took to reload it, would it be possible to have a video where you show your process for making it?

[@abetz0314]

Kirkland brand lead. Hmm I’ll have to pick some up next time I’m at Costco 🤓😉

[@Reloader826]

Like your Ingenuity it's a great video keep up the great work

Beautiful work....very impressive...aloha from Hawaii

[@chrisdeems10]

Really want to make on of these!!! Cool idea...

[@kevindtimm]

No 410 press, no 28ga press, no 16ga press - just 12's and 20's (in the load all design) Yours is very nice - I'll be replicating soon enough - especially since I have a load all clone in pieces at the house :)

[@jeanwood352]

I have a load all in 16.

[@theshotgunscientists]

Late comment but the 16 gauge lee load all has been a thing for a very long time. I have one.

I have bought several used Lee load all's and plan to cut off the twelve gague stuff and do what you did to your home made frame. Has to work.

[@johnblood3731]

@Emmitt Walsh not yet. just startd fooling with my reloading items a couple of weeks ago. been sorting brass and tools to get organized. i had a bad habit of not putting thingsaway in the proper place. but i found my 3/8 tap i need and put it in the box with the lee load all. once hurricane ida passes i will have a look at this project. thanks for asking.

Well done Sir.

Mec makes dies for the junior and it works very well. But that is still a cool home made version looks like it works well too.

[@danielbriggs5603]

Pretty awesome. I’m the same way. I love to build stuff. I’ll bet you tear everything apart and keep all the parts before you throw stuff away. A MEC reloader would be faster but not as satisfying.

[@iltutt0f4r35]

A genius

[@raymondheywood6703]

Trevor, Have you dawn a proper engineering drawing , If you have would you self a copy of it? Ray

[@Peanutdinos3000]

There's a link in the description to the drawings I have available. Good luck!

[@raymondheywood6703]

I have found the Parts List and the Parts "Sketch" but not an drawing showing parts with dimensions and materials. Trevor if you have drawn one it would be buying Ray

[@KevinATJumpWorks]

At 3:20, there's a bulge in the plastic, right above the brass. I think you should support that section better while reloading so it doesn't cause you feeding-issues while shooting.

[@Peanutdinos3000]

I was demonstrating what too much pre-crimp pressure will do. The full length brass tube I use during final crimping is too tall for the pre crimp operation. Good eye.

[@davidl8425]

I noticed the bulge too and thought to myself " that shell is never going to chamber"

[@andyanaoutdoors2487]

Awesome job!

[@BlackPowderGeek]

Thanks for the video.

[@claysmith8221]

so these reloads are gun specific meaning your not resizing the brass,dont get me wrong I think its a brillant setup and it works.cool video

[@Peanutdinos3000]

I have since purchased a MEC 410 supersizer and resize all hulls though it was not entirely necessary in my case. The malfunctions I typically run into are from the worn crimps not feeding into the chamber; the shells begin to develop character the more you reload them :)

[@claysmith8221]

@@Peanutdinos3000 I started reloading in the 7th grade(back in 1978) with a used lee load all and loved it then I moved on to the Mec series and that progressed into metallic reloading for which i cast and reload everything i shoot with the exception of 22 lr and 22 mag.I love not having to buy expensive ammo also,awesome video keep up the great innovative ways of thinking.

[@nick4872]

Cool Press. I’m looking to begin reloading 410 due to no ammo available. How many times can you reload those hulls?

[@Peanutdinos3000]

Quite a few times, you'll gain a sense when they're ready for the bin.

[@regularfather4708]

Might I humbly suggest a resizing die station on the v2.0.

[@swnorcraft7971]

I was wondering about resizing the brass portion of the shell. It appears that you only fire these reloads in the weapon that fired them in the first place. A clever idea. Why not? especially given the exorbitant price of factory 410 shells. Thanks for sharing.

[@colecrick7223]

Awesome. You load slugs at all or 00 buck?

[@Peanutdinos3000]

Sadly no, I've had my eye on 000 buck molds and the Russian slug molds on ebay for awhile but have not pulled the trigger. I have been working up cast loads more recently for 30-40 and 44spl.

[@micjam1986]

Thumbs up!! My only question is on the step where you seat the primer... is that bolt hollow to let the primer come all the way in??

[@Peanutdinos3000]

Yes but not as much as you would think. The shell base is about 3/16" thick so the primer peeks through a tad. 0:24

[@Hazy154]

How do they shoot once reloaded? Any good?

[@chinanorthairguns]

Nice job.

[@Mascotal]

I notice you don't resize your brass. I have reloaded like this and found the shell will get jambed in the gun unless it's been resized. Nice little machine though, good work.

[@Peanutdinos3000]

I was only shooting them through one gun at the time, I just checked to make sure they would chamber before I loaded them up. I've since invested in a Mec 410 resizer to accommodate all the shells I keep finding.

[@rjstewart]

@@Peanutdinos3000 Typically brass fired from your own gun should fit anyway.

[@Peanutdinos3000]

@@rjstewart Correct. When I initially started reloading I picked all my hulls from the range, no telling whose gun those were fired in.

please do you can answer at my question?

[@MaxkwGisKaas]

Great job, thanks for the upload and diagrams, will build one this winter. any updates you've made?

None yet. I'm shooting through some boxes and will need to do another run soon.

[@JM-hq3gh]

What about the shell buckling...

[@Peanutdinos3000]

Included for demonstration purposes to illustrate how hulls wear out over time. Many shells I have in rotation are so worn, the lettering on the side is gone.

[@steveobee3488]

Did you base this reloader on a lee load all ll ? Just so I have a idea on scale because I want to build one if you can shoot me the dementions and detailed parts list so I can see what I have already and what parts I need to get thanks

[@Peanutdinos3000]

It does borrow its design from the Lee Loader. There are some drawings in the description.

[@johnhutchinson5398]

You should roll crimp the ends and use a paper cardboard cover disk then roll crimp with a drill or drill press is best and faster.
