Texan press

[Taylor]

Was there ever a .410 set of dies for the shotgun press?

Yes, Not to long ago There was a Texan Loadmaster On ebay . That caught My attention. There was also a 28. I believe The 410 went Very High in price . They were not Common.

I have one set up for 12ga.It's the Dp model.Just thought that having a set of dies in 410 would be nice.

would love a set for mine as well.

maybe on of the machinist gurus on here will be able to come up with something-----hint-----hint

I have a Texan, that I bought new in the 1970's in 12ga that has a conversion kit for 20ga. I to would love to have a conversion for the 410.

I've got a Texan Loadmaster in 20 gauge. One of these days I'll try to use it. Shotgun shells are too cheap right now to warrant reloading.

Now what we need is some inserts for the mec charge bar,so we can adjust the shot.That way,we don't have to buy different bars.If only I was a machinist.

Here is a Texan Model FW in 410. I have used this and it works. I have a PW 375 in 410 and the Texan works better, easier shot dropping with 7-1/2 and way better crimp than the PW. I don't shoot much shotgun and fewer 410's since I only have a single shot.
The shot and powder bushings were turned and drilled from aluminum stock.

I do like my Texan,but since I got a good deal on the mec and can get dies for it,then I'll go that route.Don't care much for mec's shot bushing system though.I guess a universal charge bar is in order.Collecting bushing and bars could get expensive quick.
