What wads for reloading 3 inch 410 ga

[bob lyons]

Forgot to mention that the 1st time I used the federal hulls the base did not resize correctly. So the reloads got stuck in the chamber on my model 42. No issues on my O/U.
So I needed to play around with the resizer to get them to work. I would suggest you take the 42 apart and try them in the chamber before you do to many.
I was able to get a case of the 2.5 “ AA from Mutiny Machine in Texas.

I find the best 3" hulls for the .410 are the Fiocchi. Remington hulls work too, but not as well as the Fiocchi. I find Fiocchi crimp the best. I have to write down the wads I use and add them here later. I do find that I can seat the wads but I have to make sure I push them all the way in with a pencil because the drop tube pulls them back out.

Looked at my .410 wad supply. I load 3" with Remington SP410, BP's MG Four-Ten, Stump 36 and Stretch 36.
