One box a month or less. What makes the most sense for reloading 410?
I haven’t ever been into shotgun reloading, and really don’t much care to load for anything other than the 410 due to the cost of a box of shells.
I have seen lots of improvised loading rigs cobbled together for nearly no money by people who seem to have varying skill sets and varying degrees of bubba engineering mindsets. If I go this route I’m going to jump in with a few 7/8 bolts to put into my classic cast and drill/thread them to take the tooling to punch, seat, and roll crimp. Charging, wadding, and dropping shot will be done off of the press.
Does the brass head actually need to be resized? I see conflicting info on this point. Could I just use dies for something like 444 to accomplish this if it’s absolutely necessary?
Then there’s the dedicated machines. If Lee made a loadall in 410 I wouldn’t be asking this question, but I’m not even going to toy with the thought of a hundred bucks or more investment in machinery which will pay itself off at about 15 or 20 bucks a year.
