I reload a lot of .410s, usually three inchers. I use 2400 as my go to powder. More often than not I load them on a MEC 600. I buy bags of primed hulls from BPI. Never a problem.
notes: waterglass is ok as a Sealant if you are going to shoot the shells fairly quickly. If you are trying to load ahead and put a few boxes on the shelf, waterglass dries out and becomes a white powder. Better than waterglass is plastic cement like Duco.
Brass hulls….there are two types, drawn brass (Magtech). These are thinner walled and require oversize components. Primers are large pistol. Relatively inexpensive.
Then there are lathe turned hulls (Rocky Mt. Cartridge Co.). These are top shelf. They will outlive you. They use standard modern components. Priming is with standard shotshell primers. The downside is price…..they run about $7 per hull. Worth it? Worth every penny.
