.410

[shotgun..willy 8]

just wonderd what the biggest shot size it is possible to get .410 cartridges in iv only ever seen 5 or 6 just thought it would be handy to get hold of some loaded with bbs or somthing that sort of size probably wouldnt do the gun alot of good any info would be great

I've only seen them with a biggest shot size of 5 in this country, in american they do rifled slugs in .410 so... other than that (i know some one will have ago but) try getting some than have paper ends and take the shot out and put a few BB shot in their (not too many tho) then poke the paper back. i've done it for a farmer who wanted non toxic shot to shoot the ducks eating his veg patch.

I would not want to mess with carts but if you did i would have thought you would put in the same weight of shot as you removed

that would be the case if the shot wasnt to big but bbs being very big going through a fully chocked .410 it may bugger the muzzle of the gun if there is to much shot

i would try 2-3 first of all, but better still see if you can find bb loads in a fourten then just measure out the weight it states on the website. but if it non tox make sure its not a silly amount of shot, just play it safe and be sensible.

try a single SSG wedged in the end of a short cartridge, havent done it for years. Shot a hare at 100 yards with one when i was 16.

do a search on ebay you can buy .410 solid slugs remember if you alter it to single projectile it is fac

well said claybuser al..............good advice.

 

perhaps the maximum shot size is 5 for a reason....right tool for the job etc.

 

only option is perhaps home re-loading.

 

cheers

The whole point of a 410 (other than poaching) is a relatively light cartridge, quick, easy and comfortable, it was never designed to be a sledge hammer.....you can always try and turn a Go Kart into a Formula1, but not usually the best approach!!

WHY NOT GET A 20 BORE MATE IF A 4.10 AINT HEAVY ENOUGH FOR YOU AND A 12 BORE IS TO HEAVY THEN ID SAY A 20 BORE IS UR BEST OPTION
