NO .410 3" AMMO

Stan, sent you a Private Message.

J.A.'s price is the lowest I've heard of - best buy at our local gun show(s) is c. $21 box of 25 for 2 1/2" shells # 8 or 9 shot.

[Bill Murphy]

Brian, I know what Stan uses them for, but what do you use them for? I once killed 13 straight pheasants with 3" #6 and 7 1/2 in an L C Smith bored modified and full. I also won an informal Chinese Trap event against 12 gauge shooters with my Browning Superposed .410 bored full and full, loaded with 3" 7 1/2. Our Chinese Trap events are shot from the 25 yard line. I don't imagine I am up to repeating those feats today.

I use them in 8 shot for quail and sporting clays through my DHE and an LC Smith field. Next trip will be for Bob’s in South Tx. Some times in a Winchester 42 or superposed.

Bill, are all of them sticking? If only a few, then I noticed when boxing them up for you that I had already deprimed and resized some of them. If so, they were resized with my MEC Super Sizer. That thing's so strong it may have downsized some of the primer pockets.

[Bill Murphy]

No, I think that the hollow rod that goes into the shell is digging into the base wad if there is one. No big deal. I'll modify the rod so that the edge of the thing isn't so sharp.

[Bill Murphy]

I find that these shells fit just fine in any gun I've tried them in, whether they have been through the sizer or not. Whoopee! I will shoot some this weekend if the weather gets better.

There is some 410 ammo available locally. But, you'll pay for it. There is a friend that has several flats of AA #9s at $140/flat + freight. He's offering them with a 10 flat minimum.

Those 3" WW shells are only a buck more expensive than the 2 1/2". Are we sure the 3" are 25 shell boxes?

Yes Bill, they are a full box of 25. Heck, this outfit will even sell you steel .410 Winchesters at $25.51/box of 25. The AA HS #9 Skeet at Walmart are $16.85/box.
