I'm also having some issues with leading in the barrels, tried a couple of different wads but all leave a fair amount of shot above the cup. Again, any help appreciated.

Now you can understand why the manufacturers charge so much more for 410 and 28 shells! Those buggers can't be loaded on the same high-speed loaders as the 12 and 20's. Feeding the shot is a slower process.
I don't know for sure what Remington does for dropping shot charges, but those machines run at about 1/3 to 1/4 the speed of the 12 and 20 loader.
