Reloading 410 with a Homemade Press

What do you do when is costs $10 for a box of .410? You reload of course!
I demonstrate that you do not have to buy fancy equipment to enjoy the benefits of reloading some 410.
Leave a comment if you'd like a more in depth video on the press.

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.

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!!!!!

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

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!

what about resizing?

[@jasonhewitt2292]

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

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.

[@sergiomuniz9242]

Nice!!! You got a parts list so others can make it?

The BOM and working drawings are in the description. There's quite a bit of interest, I think I'll throw a video together this summer on construction and accessories.

[@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.

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.

Jack, the black crimp starter on the press is from MEC, part #1308462 for .410 bore. I'm curious what the white thing is he uses in step two.

[@Peanutdinos3000]

It's a *1/2" PVC plug, not 3/4" plug as stated in the video. www.homedepot.com/p/DURA-1-2-in-Sch-40-PVC-Plug-C449-005/100343207

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?

[@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!

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 :)

@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.

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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]

[@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.
