If it came down to it, I'd be quite prepared to weigh out my powder and shot charges on a scale. I've got a Lee dipper set already for metallic cartridge work, which would at least help to get to just below desired charge for trickle-up, and I think you can buy adjustable shot scoops from Lee still.

A lot of the people who shoot muzzleloading shotguns use those Lee adjustable shot scoops to measure both their shot and black powder charges, unfortunately, the smallest setting is 7/8 ounce, kind of heavy for a .410.
An empty .44 magnum case used as a shot dipper puts 238 grains of #8 shot on my powder scale, that's .544 ounces. You could file one down 'til it throws 1/2 ounce or maybe try an empty .44 special case. Then solder a handle to it if you want to get fancy.
