.410

[hatcreek]

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.

Got any H-110 or 2400?

I have some 296, but getting low, just thought I'd shoot it out there and see what you guys think

Alliant has the data on their website.

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.

Found this on another site. Do not have any experience with it.

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

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
