Hay all been a while, Just want to know if .410 can be loaded with Herco, blue dot or 800x, With the recent powder shortage I can't find powder for 410 anywhere, I do however have a good supply of the above powders, thanks in advance HC

Bluedot data is sparse, but out there. Ballistic Products manual has at least one shot load. I did manage to find some 800x data for Ballistic Products Thug Slug, nothing for shot.
I have some 296, but getting low, just thought I'd shoot it out there and see what you guys think
I have been loading brass .410s and military M35 cases with card and fiber wads using any standard pressure load listed for .44-40 with 200-215 grain bullet with 1/2 oz. Of shot or round ball to fit choke. Try 6 grains of Bullseye, 7 grains of 231, 8 grains Unique or Herco or 9 grains of Blue Dot.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
Found this on another site. Do not have any experience with it.
2.5" Fiocchi hull, Fio 616 primer, MG410 wad, 1/2 oz shot, 10 gr Blue Dot, providing 1200 fps at 9600 psi
What Outpost75 said. I regularly use 8 grains of Herco in 444 brass using card overpower wads. Also 6.2 grains of B'eye under ~3/8 oz shot in 44 mag brass. As I recall I've also used the Herco load in plastic cases with 3/8 oz shot and shot cups. Regards, Woody
Take a kid along
Thanks all for your input, I did find 2 loads for blue dot in the BPI manual, I'll give it a shot. Regards HC
