    .410 shotgun 2.5" hulls

    Hi Folks, I was gifted a .410 Coach Gun. Ammo is hard to find so doing some casual loading for it. I'm looking for some 2.5" hulls to load. I would prefer AA but will take most anything usable. Maybe 100 or so.
    Thanks!

    There's a pretty good video on forming brass 410 from 303 British. Seems appropriate for your coach gun.

    Oh boy, the video I posted is definitely not the one I intended to. Still looking for the real one.

    Look up Rev AL's post on forming all brass cases very good read with pics and also Ed Harris has a detailed how to. All I shoot is all brass they never seem to fail and the cool factor is awesome. Went to range last year, guy's were shooting clays, I just happened to have my 410 shottie in the truck & they invited to join in, should've seen the look on their faces when I crushed the first two thrown with all brass 410 3" black powder rounds in my sxs, things came to an abrupt stop to check out this out fit in a hurry, nuthin but giggles and smiles when they tried it out think I may have started a new group at the club.

    My wife carries a Taurus Judge in her saddle bags, all I have loaded up for the 410 is brass made from 303. They definitely survive horse sweat and bouncing around better than anything commercial we have found. And there's definitely a cool factor compared to plastic.

    If you want plastic, just trim 3 in. down
    Don't want no one to git hurt, but if you're gonna have a wreck, I wanna watch.

    Is there a difference between hulls marked Super Sped and AA, have a mix of both? The Super Speed hulls are shiny and the AA hulls are dull, seems the only difference I can see. Can fit over a hundred in a SFRB.

    I don't know there is a difference. PM sent.

    I would think .444 Marlin brass would work but you may need to thin the rim a bit.
    Of course, they do make all brass .410 hulls, I guess that would be too easy.

    I have enough hulls in hand/on the way to keep me plinking with this little shotgun.
    Thank you folks for you suggestions and your help.
