yeah just stay 200mtrs from water and be fine LOL.

and now you get to do it all again with bismuth if intend to shoot a duck with it!!!

Faaark almost tempted to get some...but $4 each and only 2 1/2"

#9 is as small as Ive got..and postage would be crippling.
not even sure where you would buy #11 shot size.

if you want some smaller shot just let me know..actually if you need lead shot full stop,let me know....I will see you sorted,you looked after me with wooden plank,so no worries to return favour.

the bit to get head around...30 yards is a long shot for the .410 15-20 is ideal...possums up trees are just too easy as are bunnies in gorse pockets.

patterns are fine..I PREFER full chokes in the wee gun..and find load that suits it best. strangely enough all mine have not likes #6s as much as #4s ,#7 not much better,smaller again is great.......

now I would be sorely tempted to load that hotter and heavier..just because you can,the higher pressure will be captured by the brass case.
the blackening is normal on wads.... mix in/mix up...

looking good... now play with some different shot sizes. it makes a HUGE difference to this wee cartridge.it will love one size and hate the next with no rhyme nor apparent reason for it.

hmmmm...well lets see.it you have a long shot string,and you aim too far infront,you will still kill bird...for a rabbit/hare or possum it matters not a hoot. in fact its only on a true passing bird...

the win296 charge was/is the same for both the 1/2oz in 2 1/2 and 11/16th in 3" cases
the extra space is taken up by extra shot ....I have complete confidence you will work it out.

are you glueing in the over shot wad...... that will help add a bit of pressure.

Smallfoot all the .410s Ive used HATE #7 with a passion....#6 nearly as bad..#8 however is great...and a mixture of allsorts the best of all. havent seen a 1/2oz load of #4s that didnt pattern...

oh boy will this wee nugget of gold open a can of worms when Wingman sees it......

yip ok that makes sense....old black powder rule of thumb is same volume of powder to shot.... cant see any black powder load being hard kicker from what Ive seen in 45/70....60 grns home rolled is...

looks like fun.....I take it you HAVE TO use 1/2oz for the steel targets???? 3/4oz is just better in everyway.... it SHOULD work well with black powder as it wont be honking along.....but that said...

there is video clip on the net with a fella taking ?doves in Argentina? with a bow and arrows.......puts a lot of shotgunners to shame.

man I hoped you breasted them all out......heap of good eating there....was that all .410???? or did you break out the .12ga and clay loads???

my old winchester single had deep rim recess and short firing pin....SOME fiocchi loads had primer recessed and it wouldnt fire them.... the bakail has no such issues. my insert doesnt either as mean...

wingman will be all over that like a rash....maybe.....maybe he likes rolling his own too much LOL.

ooooooouuuuuhhh shiney......I like very much.

aha thats about the figures I came up with...going to be closer to $3 per pop so really really interesting concept IF the big suppliers bring it in...heck if target products loaded it up as "super...

so roughly $30 per lb.........a pound is how many onces???? at 1/2oz per load that is how many loads and price per load is???
uncle google says 16oz per lb so 32loads per pound
so 224...

so for grins n giggles...fill that was column up with #00 buckshot and try a pattern.
I was using rio 3" case
win 209 primer
14grns of win 296 powder
winchester wad
6x#0 buckshot
my lyman...

look up heavi shot.....the figures on the tss etc are mind boggling...heavier than lead so using smaller shot sizes and ranges are stretched accordingly.... pity its so darn problamatic to get. it...
