Pedersoli project

I wonder if they chamber it for 444 marlin that the accuracy would improve while still be able to shoot .410 ? just a taught

Two samples have been made but still being worked on, here is the latest update from PD:

The Mini Express has the rifle stock and the longer barrel, the likeness is in the caliber .45LC with long twist and the possibility to load also the 410ga. catridge.
Shooting at the distance of 15/20 meters, either the .45 LC ammunition and 410 ga , the bullets and the shot grouping on the target are OK.
At 50 meters, the distance this Mini Express should be used, the .45LC bullet reaches the target flat.
We think it is related to the .45LC ammunition we have available here, not enough powerfull.
We hoped we could find more powerfull ammunition to test, we think that the situation will improve, but until now we could not have them.
Changing twist, using a fast twist is not the proper solution for the 410ga, because the shot pattern on target would be too open.

Maybe they could be sent a couple of boxes of Buffalo Bore ammo in 45 colt +P. Or they could change the caliber to .44 magnum !

If the accuracy is a problem with the .45 colt cartridge
How about trying a 300gr. 45/70 standard pressure. It could shoot .410 cartridge 2"1/2 without any change and the rifle bullet would not have to jump to get to the rifling !
