You're welcome. I may actually get away from the assembly part as youtube doesn't care for folks to show how to "make" ammunition. May focus more on results in the future.

@@bullet225ho I can understand that direction but, there are ways to work within that dynamic. There are plenty of assembly videos on YT. You can display components arranged in visually understandable patterns. If a unique situation arises you can show that snippet of assemblage to describe those differences. All I’m saying is there are MANY ways to step up your video contents to 1.) comply with YuK tube and 2.) elevate your ammo descriptions. Few changes to your current “SOP” would really need altered. At First you could just leave out a few steps and refer to earlier videos already produced or have a specific video to post to an individual with questions. Questions, drop me a line.

What wads did you change to?

Thanks. 410 is fun to mess with....that's for sure

Thanks for watching. I'll have to get more 2.5 loads put together and patterned.

Agreed 💯%. Couple friends wanted me to load 2.5" 1/2oz #5. It's way too course a pellet. Only bout 92 pellets in a half oz. But they're shooting garden varmints at 25 yds max. 🤷‍♂️

I may start patterning the lead 410 loads at 30. I'm seeing that is probably max range for the amount of shot in this tiny barrel.

FIOCHI ARE NOT EVEN NEW RELOABLES ARE ONLY A PICE OF GARBAGE PERIOD

My next order will probably have max 410 on it. right now they aren't in stock. The stretch wad looks promising too. I may look into putting together some footage on the Pressure Trace.

I've started doing the 410 at 25 and 30yds. I'm going to try some full size wads with these hulls and see what happens. I'd really hate for these to be a 1 and done on 3" and have to cut them down to 2.5"

Exactly what I did. Thanks for watching

AHHAHAHAHA GOOD IDEA BUT FIOCHI ARE GARBAGE SORRY BUT TRUE

Your welcome and thanks for watching. Yes, I load each shell by hand just to get proper measurement from shell to shell. If you're comfortable with your charge bar then by all means use it for what it was put there for. I just like everything to be equal.

I've shot thousands with lil gun in 28ga and only time I ever seen anything close to this (and not that bad) is developing 7/8oz steel load in 3" 28.

I think standard practice is 30" circle at 40yds in all gauges except 410. 410 is 25 or 30 yds and 30" circle (also other gauges with Cyl and Skeet are 30yds) I went to 40 on this one as it's 3/4oz load... should work well at 40 on doves if the pattern would hold up.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO ONLY IN NORTH AMERICA WICH ARE GOOD WITH RIFLES BUT NOT WITH SHOTGUNS ***** ALWAY PATTERN A SHOT GUN AT 40 ***** P E R I O D MY FRIEND

I'd say from your observations and mine....It's the stump wad. I think all the exposed shot coming out frays and mangles the end of the hull. It would make sense that the more protected the shot is the better shape the hull will be. I'm also seeing this in steel loads where the shot isn't completely protected. Also have witnessed this in some factory bismuth loads where all the shot isn't in the cup.

@@bullet225ho I believe you are correct. I'm a little surprised the mg410 loads dont tear/ stretch the hulls. The 3/4 loads have about half the shot out of the wad. Have you tried the stretch wads ? I'm thinking about ordering some soon . Bpi only lost them up to 5/8 oz shot while the manufacture list them up to 11/16 oz. They look like hey will hold most if not all of the shot in the wad.

I thought I’d try this load if your pattern looked nice. Pattern didn’t scare me nearly as much as the torn “precious” 3” hulls! I’m editing this after posting a comment here that I had no trouble with stump in another load. Looking at my manual, it was the BX wad. Anyway, as for me, I’m going to stay with 40yds because like you, I pattern for hunting. And, being 110% honest, I’m going to stretch a shot at a dove to 45 yds. I’d prefer 25-30 yds shots at every bird but that’s not realistic. Knowing that 40yd pattern is the only way you can be confident in knowing your lead and making the shot. Oh, and where you were going at the end of the video, every grain of powder does add up. Especially if you use Alliant that just went up 30% to a stupid price. Anything other than TSS won’t be loaded with Alliant from here on out. I shoot the lil TriStar Cobra, also. I find a nice 40 yard pattern, I’ll definitely share with you. - keep on showing the pattern boards… great vids! 👍🏻

Not just swap it out as is. would need a powder change and such. I have a bismuth load here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/as2keM6Hv9zJhXU.html

It's looking that i'll lean into 20 slowly. Have to get components together.

Thanks for the info.

A thin layer of mylar may help with hull damage. I doubt that it would affect pattern at all. It may affect the total weight of the load as some volume would be taken up by the mylar. I shoot the pattern at the center of the paper then draw the circle around the most shot. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the feedback. Could be the stump wad for sure. Thanks for watching

I'll be doing a give away soon. 3" 410 hulls will be in the give away. Look out for the video. They are hard to come by. I was lucky enough to grab 1000 from a supplier.

I got this load from the BPI manual. It's only one I could find that was 3/4in Fiocchi. The stump wad is not really good with larger shot or the 3" shells. I wanted to do a video showing loading a new Fiocchi hull and that's the load I picked. Thanks for watching

Wasn't me....I ordered about 3 weeks ago. LOL They'll show back up.

It's the BPI brass crimp starter. I use it on new hulls mostly. If it's on a machine for a video on once fired hulls It's because it was already on there.

They are marked with a huge fat sharpie. I'm not sure I could mark them any darker. I'll try and get better lighting or closer to the pattern paper next time. Thanks for watching

I'm working on some. may be a month or two.

Could be a beet deep on crimp depth...could be that that hull doesn't have quite enough room for the components. Where did you get your data?

BPI, Prairie Wind, Precision......They show up from time to time. have to snatch them up for sure.

@@bullet225ho thanks.

You can use the clay buster 410 wad. It's pretty much a direct substitute for the 410SC. Model # CB5050-410HS (SP410, 410SC, WAA41, WAA410HS)

@@bullet225ho sweet thanks

The data is from BPI. Advantages Manual. I think I referenced it in the video. 11/16 with WinAA wad or Stretch would probably help the hull damage for sure. Thanks for watching

Also the BPI Small Bore has more loads plus loads for AA Rem Fed hulls. I’m looking at the exact load demonstrated in this video in my Advantages.

Locate an old Lyman #2 shot shell manual. You’ll find 3/4oz. load data upto 12200 fps.

@@bullet225ho What about a stretch with a mylar wrap , seems like that might help keep things tighter or with 410 is the Mylar just a fairy tale. I think the lead shot is tearing up the hull lips. I would try #6 shot with a claybuster and I bet that 40 yard pattern would be tighter. Nice video as usual. so informative.

Best way for what? not sure I understand your question. Thanks for watching.

Where you located?

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments. If shot was free I'd load a bunch and pattern it in everything. I would like to try some magnum vs nickel shot in both gauges. Also have this hair up my tail about working up a plated 6 shot load in 28 (1oz) for turkey....you know...a cheaper alternative to the $6 a shot TSS loads. Keep it effective inside of 40yds (most turkey hunters worth their salt shoot under that)

Lil gun was introduced expressly for .410. I've seen .357 mag data too. .410 with 3/4 ounce #5 would really interest me as a serious squirrel load. I think using a shot cup wad for tighter patterns is probably more appropriate for what I need. Wing shooting isn't likely for me.
