Dominion Arms in Canada offers (offered?) zinc 12 gauge 2 3/4" slugs. I don't know the loading, though have shot a few. Seemed to work just fine in my various smooth bore shotguns but not very good...
Ah, alright then. Thought there was something new in the .410 world for a moment.
Where does one get 2.75" .410 hulls? In Canada I can only find 2.5" and 3".
Here's the response I got from them last month on the same question:
"yes, all
not primers and hulls primed

I've still got one in Canada I don't want (no hunter here), but its for an 870. Guess that defeats your purpose if you have to buy another shotgun.
No exposure to Pathfinder, but to let you know that Hornady markets a Critical Defense load in 22 WMR. Claims its for handgun barrel lengths.
People sure do invest a lot of energy/time/effort in arguing about things they "don't care about" around here. :-P
I am quite interested in this idea. The PDX ammo is similar and seems quite effective through my Raging Judge 6". Would be great to be able to replicate without the $2.50 (CAD) each cost.

(Not collectors of Canadian cartridges) Wondering if there is any other cartridge collectors in Canada here. PM me!
Winchester 1300 "Defender" was my first pump shotgun, purchased maybe 30 years ago and still have it. It has extended 8 shell mag tube and 18.5" IC barrel. Shoots factory Foster slugs accurately...
Have you looked into a Dominion Arms Grizzly? 12 gauge, 10 inch barrel, 5 shot box mag. Norinco nay-sayers will have you believe they're garbage and that may have been true in the olden days....

Broken deep freezer makes a secure ammo can storage place, though the padlock hasp kind of gives it away. Padlocks on every can is just overkill.
Anyone know where these cartridges might be obtained in Canada?
Unless you have the Raging Judge. 454 Casull pressures means lots of 'wiggle room'.
Saw this on the International Ammunition Association web site, thought many here (Longbow) would be interested to see (Paper hull, wood screw attaching wad to slug):

Any chance you(r friend) might share those 3D printer files? Be a good place to start modifications for different boolet shapes vs starting over.
It is why we're all here, so why not roll yer own! Unless you're in Canada like I am, in which case its almost impossible to get components.

Scrounged retail cartons - into 30/50 cal ammo cans with padlocks on them - into derelict chest/bar freezers with padlocks on them - in rooms with deadbolted doors - guns in a safe in a separate...

I buy shadow boxes meant to display coins. Remove every 2nd shelf for long cartridges, but pistol length mostly fits fine as-is. Michael's has reasonable prices, if you wait for the two for one...

I have used Powerfist powder. It works as advertised, but the colours are not as advertised. Much lighter/faded than one would expect. Red is especially disappointing, more of a pastel orange.
I'd love one of those for my cartridge collection. Anyone know if/how to get them in Canada? Walmarts around here don't even stock regular shot (or other!) gun stuff.
I've owned pretty much every "type" of gun made by Norinco. Shot, rifle, pistol, anyway.
The lever is very inelegant in that you have to really crank on the lever to make it function. Anything...
