Just logged to pay my condolences to family and friends. He was such a good person. RIP.

If you want some 1200fps from a long barrel, use a fast powder, like the ones you would use for 12ga. 6-7 grains would do the trick. I load 6.5 grains most of the time from 5/16oz to 3/8oz loads,...

Hi there friends.

It's been a while I left this project untouched, due to many personal and other issues...

However, after seeing the sucess of Y-man with his solid socket slugs, I decided to...

My thoughts too. Even mine which is a smoothbore supposedly sold as .410 only has this step. The best choice for the OP would shoot his gun as is and be content with the "accuracy" offered or try a...

As I probably mentioned earlier, I live in Brazil and my gun is a smoothbore .45ish one. Not 410, not rifled, it's even weirder than the ones sold in America.
Inside 20 yards it patterns well most...

If it's brass, not some steel cased Russian ammo, you can resize the shell till a tad below the ring. It can stand a lot of firings without any cracking at this point (Magtech brass). I keep loading...

Sir, check your cylinder chambers for a step at .45 Colt case length. If it's present, it's a no go. Taurus Judge has this step and it won't allow the chambering of a longer than .45 Colt bulleted...

It may be of interest for some of you, gentlemen!

Check Svarog Hunt, look for the Italian Gualandi mold. Pretty much the same as the real deal

Hello everyone,
I took the relevant brass hull load data from the CBC/Magtech leaflet and translated it, with some personal observations, in the hope it will be useful for someone.

Too bad it...

I had a 32ga when I was a teenager and never shot anything but BB shot from it. It usually patterns well and is good enough for small to medium game. I shot a bunch of coop raiding possums and feral...

not wanting to rain on your parade, search "b b pelletier Tom Gaylord smoothbore airgun pellet". due to the shape of the airgun pellets available today, most of them shoot quite well from a...

Sir, cut a nice cardboard wad (like notebooks, folders etc), prime and powder in the case, insert buckshot in a regular long .410 plastic wad (BPI has a nice gualandi one), load your buckshot, place...

There's nothing they can do you can't do with a dedicated .45 Colt revolver, because the rifling will mess the pattern. IMHO, since I have a smoothbore Judge (not in America), it's realistic to shoot...

Sir, you can make your own lee loader kit.

You can use the same principle to build any...

It's used to stuff horse saddles and they also make some under saddle pads (don't know the right word in English), the mat you put over the horse, before the saddle. It's quite stiff and thick (1/2...

Thanks friends! �� I got about 30 pounds of the stuff, free, and was thinking it would be a shame to throw that away. As for the BP fires, it was just a little joke.����

Very nice Y-man!!!������ I've been following you since you started your posts at that firearm blog... Looks like your ingenuity and some help from that rifled barrel put you where you wanted.

And...

Hi there my friends, I just scored many pounds of synthetic felt at a local saddle shop and got wondering if they could be punched into filler wads for my brass shells. I plan on using smokeless...

I'VE been loading the same set of 25 .410 brass shells for more than one year with smokeless, no problem.

You can try loads with red dot (magtech has a powder probably not available in...

I've been loading brass for my judge and yes they fireform to a slightly necked case, The base swells a little then it used to stay trapped inside the chambers till I home honed each of them.

I'm...

Regarding the 3/8oz loads, in brass cases, one can use 6-7 grains of powders like W231 or 7.5-8gr of Unique with good results. The Magtech brass cases are really thin and oversize, so I make my own...

So, no cut-shells allowed in these shotguns? I don't remember reading the powder brand, charge and payload anywhere, I missed it?
