Someone who does. And, because they can. Pretty simple really.
Thankfully those days are behind us.It was definitely a reaction to hunting regulations like Ohio and a few other mid west states have or had. I spent a fair number off years hunting deer in Ohio with a 410 slug-gun because it was the only way I could legally hunt with a lever gun.
Where is he located? I've never heard of an area that stipulated plastic hulls specifically. Shotgun only, sure, but most don't say anything about the hull material.I know a chap who loads his own 410 hulls, cut to length and skived out to take 44 cal pistol bullets for use with an H&R 444. For the purposes of the regulatory regime he was operating in, the plastic hull was apparently a stipulation. Pretty niche market however...

Won't work in Illinois. 20 gauge or larger and I believe .45 cal or larger bullet, at least for muzzle loaders and sabots. I agree that it would be neat.A rifled 410 barrel launching a 357 HP in a sabot could have an interesting potential in a shotgun only area.
I like those 20 ga bolt action!!Won't work in Illinois. 20 gauge or larger and I believe .45 cal or larger bullet, at least for muzzle loaders and sabots. I agree that it would be neat.
I would buy one if it were priced well. I started off deer hunting with a 410 and slugs. Never got the chance to drop the hammer on a deer, but I went through 2 boxes of 5 slugs that year. One box practicing at 50 yards, the other on coyotes that kept running past my stand. I scored hits with every shot, and got a pass-through double once. I would not feel under-gunned in a thick piece of ground, but I would admittedly prefer a 20ga.Who would want a 410 rifled barrel???
And why???
https://www.ammunitiontogo.com/index.php/cName/410-gauge-slugDoesn't make a lot of sense, at least until someone develops saboted 410 bore slugs. I think if I had a double rifled 410, however ever, I would make up a mould to cast proper bullets. Unfortunately, that light little handy gun would not be deer legal in my state.
O.K. I guess it doesn't make sense for me.
My Contender shoots 45s well but has to have the choke tube on to pattern shot well.
I suppose that whoever wrote that never heard of brass hulls.The People's Socialistic Republik of New York:
"Shotgun - is a firearm with a barrel length of at least 18 inches that uses shells that are nonmetallic except for the base."
