I really can;t see the huge diference in price between .410 and 20 or 12 guage shells-I know the usual story about volume and all that-but the .410 is still chambered and sold, so people must be buying them,and not everybody reloads.In fact, if the price of shells was closer ,perhaps more people might buy them
 
.410

I agree one would think because the .410 is !/2 the size of a 12g we get
a price that's somewhat proportional:confused: , I'am waiting for the new pistol grip
Mossberg 500 ( 50455) to add to my arsenal:D @ P & D Edmonton , pretty well cost the same amount
as a 12 on a day at range!:mad:

Ruger 10/22
Ruger MK 111 hunter
SIG p226
S & W .357 mag
REM 700 30.06
REm 870 express
 
You pretty much answered your own question. There is more 12 gauge sold in a day than .410 sold in a month I bet. Only making a dime a shell isn't so bad when you move millions of rounds. When you (proportionally) move very little you will never make money. Mind you nowadays they are likely posting record profits for everything.
 
You think that .410 is expensive? Try buying factory 28 ga. shells. There is alot of people who load for the .410 most are skeet shooters. I myself load .410 and shoot it quite a bit.
 
I was thinking of getting one of those little turkish single shot .410's for potting grouse-but not if I have to spend $17 for a box of shells,I'll stick with my 20
 
Remington cash back

Noticed on a USA site that Remington is giving a cash back of $20 a flat for certain 12ga shells -
I dont understand - One day they cant keep up with ammo demand, the next day they pay you to buy it.
Crap, crap, crap!!!
 
I know an old timer that loads 410 ammo from brass .444 Marlin casings. They are apparently a bit sloppy before fire forming but after that last for ever as the 410 operates at much lower pressures than the case was intended for. I believe he used regular large pistol primers but also drilled some of the 444's out to handle a regular 209 shotshell primer as he is a retired machinist from the railway.
