Looking for 410 3/8 oz data

SHR970 · December 9, 2011, 05:01 PM

I want to try something and need published data for 3/8 oz. loads (which is very scarce).

No 410 reloaders out there? Beuhler? Beuhler?

I have looked through a lot of data just now and found nothing for 3/8oz .410 loads.
I suspect that - given the very uniform powder charges across loads from 1/2 to 3/4 oz., that you could use similar data for the 3/8 oz load.
That is what I did when adapting .303 British brass to .410s. The case is short and so the wad had to be cut and would only hold 3/8oz. I used a minimum load of 2400 as published for 1/2oz shot charges.
Understand that my use of a particular unpublished loading does not guarantee safety in your guns. Use at your own risk.

243, I already know about BPI. The same folks that call the Gualandi H21 wad a BX410. They don't list much at all for that wad and it is the most likely candidate for my experiment.

Take your 1/2 oz load, and try adjusting your crimp. You might find the need to boost your powder charge a little - I did when i was loading 3/4oz in a 12 gauge. Using a 7/8 load recipe,I needed to up the powder drop a grain to get complete ignition, especially in cold weather
