.410 Buckshot

[targettarget]

If anyone's interested, I found some .410 buckshot (000, I think) at WSS in Calgary.

$6ish/box.

I bought 5 and there were still about 20 there.

Wish I could find some in Ontario...

 

[jennis]

so how many projectiles 2 or 3, may as well fire 3 marbles from a slingshot

 

[jiminthecorner]

HEY Jennis, I'll shoot some 410 buck at you and you TRY to catch 'em OK?
Marbles be darned, they go thru 3/4 " plywood no problem!! Try that with a "slingshot"! JITC

I've used it, great stuff on coyotes. I used to have to make my own buck loads for my .410.

 

[jennis]

I guess nobody saw the 'razz'

How many projectiles? Better still, how about a picture of a 25 yard pattern?

 

[TPK]

Damn that's a decent price, 25 rounds in a box?

 

[faswagon]

probably only 5 per box

 

[targettarget]

5 - 9mm(ish)seized pellets.

5 - rounds per box.

I've never seen this for sale before, so I thought I'd let anyone who was interested (in Calgary) get some.

I bought 5 boxes and don't really intend on firing it all that often, so I figure I've got enough for a couple of decades.

My local gunshop has 410 #00 buckshot as well. 3 pellets in shell. I don't know if it's legal for deer here in BC.

 

[TPK]

Nope, the .410 isn't quite big enough .. I was thinking of bringing some .410 slugs with me to use when Grousing so if I came accross a Deer .... but I was promptly put straight.

I load 410 buckshot in 444 marlin brass.Win 410 plastic wad,4 Obuck pellets (32 cal) plastic over shot card.
Best shot ever was 4 balls in a gopher @ 30 yds.
Quite Messy

after buying 410 buck, now you need to get yourself a Taurus judge, 410 revolver

Neat idea... wonder how many #4 buck would fit.

I would think that less than bore sized shot would spread out quite quickly because of spin imparted by the rifling.

A bore sized ball would just spin and not spread out, like what happens in a muzzleloader shooting round ball.

My .410 does not have rifling.
