.410 shot shell

Has anyone reloaded the little .410 using .444 Marlin brass?
I've found 1/2oz of #9 shot over 8.0gr of Herco with a cork shot over-card and an index card type final wad sealed with wax works quite nicely.
Why would I go to this trouble, because reloaders are always "playing".

Usually they only play until they blow a piece of the shotgun's chamber out of their shotgun. Then, they use published loads. Unless they have lost an eye, fingers, or other body parts...then they have usually given-up hand loading all together.

playing

The quoted load is an acceptable loading using 444 brass in a 410. This was not a capricious hand load.

If you got that loading out of a shot shell loading manual, I stand corrected. It has been a few years since I have purchased or looked at the latest published loads.

Never done so.
I see you are in the peoples republic of NJ
I would think .410 brass shells are more available then .444 Marlin

444

You're most likely correct about the availability of 410 brass. I was merely "playing" as I have several hundred 444 empties and thought I would utilize what was on hand.
