.45/410 barrel
« on: March 30, 2003, 12:16:22 PM »
I just got a .45/410 barrel ( 10" ) can I shoot 3" 410 shells in it?  I also would like some loads that will work in this barrel.  I don't need benchrest groups just good stout plinking loads.   Thanks lost :grin:

Yes..3" is fine;probably preferred.  My 14" likes the heavies much better than the 250 grainers and under.  I usually load either a 300 grain hard cast gas checked or a 300 grain XTP using Hodgdon's data for H-110 and Lil'Gun.  Check out their website at www.hodgdon.com...  BTY, my barrel likes the smaller shot when using the .410..8's,8 1/2's, and 9's pattern the best.

yes, spinafish is right you can even go up to the 320gr. or better loads and load them light and slow and it's like a brick thru a glass window. If you need the loads for the real heavy stuff let me know in a PM and I will hook you up.
