I definitely dont want to have to pay money for the hoening or a conversion. When I get this load figured out, it will fit my needs perfectly.

***UPDATE*** Not gonna be able to do the bear hunt, so lets turn this around into a deer load. How does a 185 grain SWC with a BHN of 15 sound?
Will everything be able to stay the same, including...

I'm actually gonna test the federal 3" #4 buckshot out of a xfull choke at 20-30 yards and check that out. If it doesn't perform right, then I'm considering #1 buckshot. Should find out tomorrow.

I'm making my own slugs for the 410 on the "Custom Slug Loads" thread, and I am gonna be going Bobcat hunting with hounds... hopefully next year, and I'm planning on making custom loads for that to....

thanks, will keep you updated.

Nice Hog!!!

Will the regular fiber wad, instead of just nitro cards, give me more feet per second? At this point I'm looking at velocity and composition of my shells. how could i put it together such that...

how much plastic do you think I should leave at the top of the hull? Where can I get waxed fiber wads?

If my barrel diameter is .410 wouldnt I want a .410 slug? I just put a .410 bullet down my barrel (not the one's I'm using) and a thin layer of lead was taken off the bullet when I tapped it in with...

almost forgot....max powder load?

And how many .125 nitro cards should I start out with?
Need a cheap but good scale. Would the new BPI scale be fine? Heres the link:...

They look great!!! The guy at MBW(Montana Bullet Works) told me that he only uses Lyman #2, but the ones I'm gonna get are heat treated so they come out to a BHN of 22. Is that fine?

Thanks again Turbo!! You seem to keep having the right answers for everything! I may be ordering more components tonight, so if I do I will post it tonight.

-If its not really expanding, wont it just punch a hole through 'em, meaning I would have to track 250 yards even if its a good shot?

-For the screws, did you mean the head of the screw should be...

if I chose from the alloys listed, what would be the closest to this?

that may even be a lil to much expansion

I don't need expansion so much just...

Thank you sooooo much for walking me through this turbo!!!! You've been a great help!!! I will be purchasing the items to put 'em together, so don't forget about this thread, I'm sure I will have...

The reason I ask about the powder load is because the 3" 410 only has a SAAMI pressure of 13,500. You said to start at 30 grains, an these slug...

+What hull?
+How much powder?
+And the guy that I'm buying from uses different alloys so what should I tell him?

I'm gonna be using a .41, a 210-220 grain and around 1500fps. Definitely meeting the quota :p

Thanks Turbo!!! You don't even realize how much of a help you have been!!!

I posted this link earlier, wondering if you think this would be a good...

Thanks! Now all I have to do is find the correct bullet?

Does the style of bullet matter (RN, SWC.......)? I'm gonna try and stay around the 210-220 grain range so more recommendations to places that offer them would be appreciated!!! I also don't want to...

Do you think those would work? I read somewhere that if your going over 1000fps you should have a gas check on pistol bullets?

The 220grains looked good on here but they are not consistent enough...

thanks a ton guys!!!!

Turbo: Those were 255grains with a gas check and I found these also.

Marlin rifles have a fold down buckhorn style rear sight. I'm sure you could find 'em
