Advise on a 410

I do reload and have a bunch of AA hulls already. Not to worried about the cost of shooting the reloads.
20 cents for 410.??? You are still using up your stash of old components are you not??
Be hard pressed to do that if everything was bought new today for someone starting out especially with powder the way it is now. I think we talked about this before but could be wrong
I am probally just under $6.00 also but that is with 15 year old stuff at least and their prices
Cheers

Someone has finally done the math and recognizes that reloading target ammo isn't that cheap. Based on the Feb 2016 price list from Hummason, adding 5% for GST, 5% uplift if you are buying local and don't get the favorable prices offered by Hummason, you are looking at $7.51 per box for 12g with 1oz of shot, $7.93 with 1-1/8 oz shot. Better you get a few buddies together and order a pallet, will save you cost and time. The only way you can save money reloading 12g is to get the shot free or close to it. Those who claim they are saving tons of money reloading 12g are delusional. Now if you are reloading hunting cartridges, that is a different story.
Have an O/U with tubes including 410, never use it anymore. Picked up a Mossberg 500 410, 24" Fixed full for occasional skeet practice.
If you can do a 50+ straight or higher, you're doing very very well.
Excellent skeet practice gun, think I paid under $400
Having said that, I reload 410, so it's actually pretty affordable.

Agree. The only 12ga I can honestly say I can save a few and it is just a few dollars on is the high speed steel 3" and 3 1/2" but I get exactly what patterns best in my guns which is the key when using steel. I reload lead 12ga just because I have a 20 plus year stash of components . If I didnot have that old stash I would be buying 12ga and 20ga target loads by the flat

I understand that inexpensive 12 gauge target shells will be $70 a flat plus taxes in SW Ontario. They were $65 this past season.
That might be a good idea as well. Any other guns in 28 gauge that people might recommend. Again not looking for o/u or to break the bank to much. Or should I just keep looking for the same suggestions that have already been made. Kind of wish the A5's came in 28 or 410.
28ga is much easier to run scores with and is by far my favorite shotgun gauge to use
As far as recommendations pretty much the same a used 1100 is still the one in your price range and a semi action .A new weatherby 28ga semi by the time you pay taxes etc will take a grand and others like the al48 even more
Cheers

I used to carry a 28 in a 101 for grouse. Best grouse gauge ever IMO. Loved it. I have kicked myself so many times for selling it. I shot a few rounds of skeet with it too and I have to say there is no advantage to using a 20 or 12 on the skeet field over a 28. A 28 absolutely crushes targets and with a lot less punishment to the shooter than the big guns.

410 for skeet really? Kewl, the more who do the more I win competitions....
Worse thing on a trap or skeet range is the guys with semi autos backing up the line picking up spent hulls ..... (shakes head)

Never have seen it as a problem. At the club we shoot at there is always time between rounds. I shoot an entire round then pick up the hulls. Never seems to get in the way. I definitely will pick up one of my auto 5s any day over an o/u. Just my preference and my opinion.

There is nothing as frustrating nor as rewarding as shooting skeet with a .410. My first choice would be a tubed O/U. If an O/U is out of the question I think the choices become quite limited. 1100 as mentioned and there are a few pumps. See if you can borrow a gun to give it a try before you make a serious investment. Shooting the .410 may be something which may make you want to give up the game altogether.

I think that is a very good point. I could definitely see some frustration with shooting a 410. Like you said though would be very rewarding have that great round with it. Thanks for the advice.
What are people's thoughts on the bps. Never tried one with the bottom ejection. It looks a little awkward to use. Not sure just a thought.
