Thread: Quality "everlasting" .410 shells

So I finaly got around to pushing the vintage SBS chamber out to 3" so I can run my full length brass loads in it. I spent a bit of time dialing in various payloads to see what it shot best with.





I gave up pretty quick on the 1oz loads as the patterns with both cork and felt wads were sporadic and showed a lot of shot clumping together in the ugly patten.
At 30y some didn't even penitrate the jib board I was shooting at.





Things tightened up nicely with 3/4oz and 11/16oz #5 loads in the plastic stretch wads
