reloading 410, 000 buckshot

[jbunny]

this is my first attempt at loading 410 000 buck. 4 pellets of hornady
000 buck, .350 od and 4 of them weigh a smidgen over 250 gr. i used
5 gr of unique to start with. mild load. will work up 7 gr. the brass
shells are 444 marlin.

here u see the glue stick that i used to glue 2 thickness of computer
paper box cardboard. that gives me .044 thou wads over the buckshot.
i glued the wads with weldbond.

here is 5 gr of unique results at 18 yds. 8 inch group and 1 pellet came
through, another almost. 6 or 7 gr will be deadly. u copy this at your own
risk.

Neet! It would be fun to see through a Taurus Judge.

Awesome - thanks for sharing your success!

I have loaded 5 pellets of 000 buck in the past with great results.

The load I used worked great on coons. If I recall, I had to add some lead shot (probably #6) to make up some weight. It worked great as a buffer and I'm sure added some sting to the package!

Have fun - and be careful!!!

Thanks!

they are standered 444 marlin, 2.225 inch. 000 buck is bigger than 00 buck
4 pellets of 000 buck fits perfectly in the shot cup. i'm worked up to
7.5 gr of unique. i use 7.5 gr of unique in the 45 colt with 2 .440 dia
soft lead muzzle loader ball, held in place with weldbond glue.
