Shooters:
I had some 410 hand gun ammo by the brand name Centurion. When I shot them out of my hand gun, the cases expanded so much that the cylinder would jam up and not turn. When I shot them out of a single shot long gun, they blew a pin hole in the primer. Either they use thin metal or are way over loaded.

I shot some metal cased 223 that I bought via Wolf and the case on one expended so much that I couldn't get the bolt open. Thought I was going to have to take it to a gun Smith. Lots of force to get it open.

Live well, be safe.
