mikek@kaoslogic.com for those 2" loads please. Thanks.
I looked in my BPI Advantages Manual and it has 2 loads for 2" .410 shell:
Both use the NC410 wad, not sure which that is.. but you got 10 grains of Alliant 410 powder for 180gr of shot @ 820fps or...
Saw this data in the BPI buckshot manual and wondering if anyone has tried Longshot for .410 loads. Would be real nice to save my H110 for .357 loads, not to mention I have a ton of Longshot on hand...
Awesome! Thanks for posting this. I've never heard of this company. Just went ahead and ordered some .410 slugs along with some of thoe vicious 12ga 1-3/8oz slugs!
I've got some 9.3x74R I was planning on using as well. Care to share how you went about fireforming them? Was planning on using some Red Dot, a fiber wad and then fill the rest up with cornmeal. Oh...

Thanks for the replies! It’s going thru a Henry Big Boy lever gun.

Hey there, so I’m still pretty new to the brass reloading but I’ve done a couple batches of .45 Colt on regular plinking style and up to “bear loads”. What I’m looking for is something in the middle,...
I’ve done this on 20ga hulls.. 13gn Red Dot, overshot card and then grits or corn meal and seal it off with a small dab from a hot glue gun. That hot glue IS a projectile tho, so make sure you shoot...
Old thread, but I was just researching .410 blanks.. and if you want a little spark to it at dusk/evening time.. instead of over powder card, just take a small bit of 0000 steel wool like the size of...
Just wanted to share with you guys, as we've had excellent results with these for hog, deer, or just raising hell.
Came into possession of several boxes of 20ga Win Super X 1oz #5 shot. Just...

Hey guys. I'm still fairly new to reloading, but as considering adding the Beowulf to my list of calibers since MAN those rounds are expensive! I recall shooting some .45ACP "shells" with some #4...
I’ve done basically same damn thing with good results. I used Win 572 powder and 3/4oz #4 shot. The shells were a touch over 2” and cycled good in the Rem 870.
I'm still a novice with reloading.. just under 2yrs into so far. I've gotten mixed opinions from local guys on using buffer for heavy loads. I notice a lot of factory turkey loads have buffer, as do...
Recently tried those Hornady .375" balls and they're bad ass.. using 25 grains of Lil Gun to send a single .375" ball about 1750fps, at least out of my Mossberg 500 18" barrel. Doesn't even have that...
Wow 2800fps is amazing. That’s what I’m talking about. Gonna have to try that. Wonder how it could be safely adapted to the Hornady .395” ball, which is a perfect fit. Maybe 35 grains powder?
Looking for load data on 1/4oz .410 slug or .40” Hornady round ball in 2.5” hull. I’d like to get some great fps out of em like the Rem Sluggers if possible. Haven’t gotten around to buying the BPI...
If any of you are like me, I much prefer my hulls to be free of writing on em.. and I’ve tried everything from brake cleaner to denatured alcohol to cleanly get rid of the factory printed stuff on...
How many grains of Longshot did you use? Haven’t tried those slugs with that powder yet but I know 18.0-18.5gn of Win 572 powder does great on em!
As I do with most, since I love how things work.. I pulled apart one of these Winchester 12ga blanks to see how I could go about duplicating them. It’s a 2.75” hull, with 170 grains of tightly packed...
Sure, I’ll share. I know “wildcatting” shotshells is frowned upon by some, in my experience. So that being said, if anyone is going to lecture me on that, save your breath. I’m very meticulous with...
Hey there, I'm new here. Was wondering if anyone knows of factory loads which Winchester uses their 572 powder for 20ga? Reason being, I've cut open a bunch of random Winchester shells to weigh the...
