Anyone use these? These are 20 gauge to 410. I got a couple for my Savage 24V, .30WCF over 20 gauge. The ejector slips under the rim, so they don't work in the 24V. The problem is with the gun though, as the ejector is "wobbly" and I can see the problem. Works fine with the 20 gauge shot shells, but it must be marginal.
Anyhow, and so, they work perfectly in my Savage 219 single shot, which is another one of my "trekking" or wilderness survival guns. The idea being that I can carry more 410's, for the same amount of weight, as 20 gauge shot shells. Weighing both, I can carry close to two 410's for every one 20 gauge shot shell. The 410's out of the insert throw a good useful pattern.
They eject fine, and the fired shell pushes right out of the insert using a loaded/unfired shell as the "pusher". I can't find anything not to like. With some Brenekke slugs for protection, or venison back-straps, and a bunch of 410's, maybe a few 20gauge shot shells, (might be better to shoot a turk with a 20, rather than a 410) and paired with a .22LR pistol, I think I can live off the land for a while, if I had to.
I really wish they'd work in the 24V, perhaps I can find a new ejector for it that works.
