The factory ammo I have used just isn't that accurate. They kind of throw buckshot in a general direction.
I figured I can probably do better.
First I slugged the bore. Looks like it's about .412'' (no choke) and compared components I have to the bore. My other 410 has a full choke and I have not slugged the bore on it yet.
All I have is 2.5 inch cheddites. My "red clay buster wads" seem to fit pretty snung in the bore with Hornady 000 buckshot which measures .35 inches.
It could be better.
I can't find a source for 0000 buchshot, so I bought a lee 2 ball mold for .36'' I figure I need to cast my own stuff as much as possible. Another 10 thousands should make them fit really snug.
If I could find a .410" to .415 or so ball mold I might just do that.
Powders I have that are appropriate for loading 410 are h110, al410 and AA9.
Anyone else try making better 410 buckshot?
