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 enemy of good is better.
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.
