But I can shoot like crazy now after doves in the late season without reloading bird shot.

Received a case of .410 Challenger shells today. I read they were made in Canada but these are made in France. Nice box but a hunter is getting ready to shoot a French rabbit in front of his bird dog. Thought that was sort of funny.

I loaded a few yesterday, but it was too cold in the garage to load a bunch. The hulls were 3" Remington. The primer seater sticks in the shell, so I will have to modify it a bit. Presently, I am grabbing the shell with pliers and hitting the pliers lightly with a small hammer to free it. The loader is a very old MEC 600 that was given away at my club. The extra step is no big deal and the loaded shells are beautiful. I don't know how they will feed in a Model 42, but the deprime station seems to include a sizer.
