No, I'm talking about squeezing a load of shot In a brass 9.3x74 or 444 marlin witch would be 45 caliber down to 410 bore. To me I would think that there would be a major pressure spike.

No jacket but 200 grain lead at Standard 45 acp speed in the 9.3x74. Pulled it out of the sand trap, makes for a much longer bullit.

Was trying to blow up the old rossi. Took a case full of bench powder waste before it let loose. Using 9.3x74 brass you are going from 45 to 410 directly into the barrel without squeezing in down....

Will do. I see what you mean by using 445 cases. Smaller diameter. Don't think I like him that much to buy new brass for him.

No wads just straight lead. Question on moon clips? I had to get forceful to get rounds into moon clips and destroyed it getting them out. No problem with 45 acp so must be 308 brass. Have...

The 410 he is using is the Rossi Match Pair single shot 45/410 pistol. Borrow it from me two year ago, says I can't have it back. Maybe if I get the 25-2 working I can borrow it for a short...
