Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) Welcome aboard ddhotbot. That does sound like some interesting reloading you've been doing. What posessed you to see how muchyou could stuff in a 410 casing? That sounds dangerous. I've been waiting to hear if someone had tried reloading these shells. Are you using the Barnaul steel cases? The mags are supposed to be legal now, though pretty hard to find in the US. As far as other conversions go , look around on this site and you will see a lot of ideas. I think you can do pretty much whatever you want as long as you keep it legal by replacing enough parts on your gun with U.S. made ones and don't go over the legal length for a shotgun. If you have any specific questions the guys here are very helpful and not too stuffy to answer them. Edited January 17, 2005 by Cobra 76 two Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I tried to buy some HICAP .410 magazines.... spent far too much time looking and waiting, so I just bought a DOZEN Oompa-Loompa's, instead... and put them to work making chocolate for me in my basement.... was MUCH easier to get them...

ddhotbot 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 cobra 76,i weigh everything and make sure it is smaller in diameter than the choke tube i have on my 410.i am using a load for 11/16 oz ,with win 296 powder.i was at the range sun and shooting it a little bit.i set a soda bottle at the 25yd berm and was able too hit it 3 times in a row with my 2-38cal bullet loads.i was actually really surprised myself because i thought those 2-158gr wad cutters would be tumbling and going everywhere.i reload only plastic and paper 3' 410 hulls,after i bought the gun i decided i better start reloading for it because the price of 410 shells was just too expensive.this thing is really fun.don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I was just thinking that all that extra weight in there would equal too much backpressure. I don't know anything about reloading though other than if you do it right you can shoot alot cheaper. Have you tried the Barnaul 3"steel case loads in your gun? I'm interested to see how they functioned if so. I just bought 100 rounds of it with 97gr slugs for 30 bucks. That's way cheaper than anything else out there in 3", slugs or shot.

Doerdie 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I hear that Oompa Loompas are going to be banned soon, they are delclaring them a DD due to their high capacity, better get yours while you can! (now where did I put that golden ticket?.....hmmmm) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NedPepper 0 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 (edited) I've been watching for 1 or 2 hi caps to become available on a certain site...got bored waiting so I went to Ebay..just out of curiosity. I found 1 and max'd bid $50. I went back after a week and saw it sold for 177.00!!!!!!! Someone must have REALLY wanted one REAL bad. BTW- anyone notice the latest Cabela's catalog sell 410 brass from Magtec? I wonder if it takes small rifle primers. Not sure if it is 3" either but I'll hafta give them a call.
