Default Brass .410 cases

Does anyone sell all brass 3" .410 cases?

Magtech might make them, though I think those may be 2 1/2"

A 45 colt is essentially a 1-1/4" .410. The Taurus revolvers shoot both. Also, the .444 Marlin is about 1/4" shorter than the 2-1/2" and maybe do to experiment with.

I had previously checked Magtech's website and their only .410s are 2 1/2".

How much more case capacity would one expect from an all brass 3" case as compared to a 3" Cheddite, roll crimped? I can squeeze .73 oz. of nickel plated 8 1/2s into a roll crimped Cheddite. Shouldn't the load capacity increase to over .75 oz.?

If you go to their website they are advertising "Business and equipment for sale". I saw that while searching for sources for .50-70 brass. Supply and cost issues probably caught up with them too.

https://www.rccbrass.com/product/410-bore-2-1-2-in/

Should be noted RCC uses a stronger alloy of brass than most cartridge makers.

When I was looking for some brass cases not too long ago, I wnet to their website and there was absolutely no mention of a brass shotgun shell anywhere, even using their internal search function. I have seen more new ones pop up at Midway etc since but they are likely inventory moving through the system.

I used to use 444 Marlin in my Stevens 410 sxs. One chamber was large enough that fire 410 shells would not size down enough, so I used 444 Marlin and they didn't swell much and the FL marlin dies sized them right down. I had a gasket punch that cut the right size wads. I might have the dies around yet, I've made four moves since the last time I looked for them.
