The bpi shot manual does not list 3" buck shot with anything but 1 ball. Any loads using lil gun powder and 00 or 000 would definitely make my day. Looking for light to medium loads for a bond arms taurus judge and an m6 scout rifle
healthy and safe new year to all
Hodgdon website lists 5 hull/primer combos for 3" 410 bore with Lil Gun, but no buckshot loads. Lyman #5 shotshell manual lists buckshot loads for 410, but none with lil gun.
Welcome to loading for the 410.
The BPI Buckshot manual should have loads for 2 1/2 and 3" Buckshot, or atleast it used to.
They had loads for 3 000 buck in the 2 1/2" and 4 000Buck in the 3"
I can't find my load notes for it, but I ended up with 4 000Buck in a 2 1/2" shell with a roll crimp. I'm pretty sure I used 2400 powder.
