I've finally found a .410 Marlin lever action shotgun after some time hunting for a reasonable priced one.
I'll be using shot shells for pest control and slugs for target shooting at the club.
Not having much luck finding factory 2½" slugs though so looking to buy a MEC 600 Jr and make my own.
Does anyone on here cast .410 Brenneke slugs or know of a supplier of them, I can only seem to find .410 ball slugs.
Thanks

siarm.it?
http://www.siarm.com/product_info.php?c ... ts_id=1922 that sort of thing?
Good blokes to deal with, and shipping is very reasonable.

Re: .410 Slugs
Perfect thank you. Now can anyone help with what bits I need to add to the MEC 600 Jr to load .410 slug, complete novice to shotgun reloading.

Re: .410 Slugs
Just roll crimp.
You will only need a powder measure.

Re: .410 Slugs
Tricky to answer.
The "column" dictates to an extent what you crimp onto.
Also the shape of the slug.
I use the lyman airgun pellet type 12g slug and roll crimp onto it using a standard roll crimp.
My buddy uses the Lee dome shape 12g slug and roll crimps onto a clear plastic disc.
If you get items from siarm I would suggest you get a few different wad and card thicknesses so you can juggle.
They are very cheap.
Could you use a 40 cal bullet sat in a plastic wad?
I don't know much about reloading 410 slug so not sure on dimensions and weights.
Have you had a look on the 410 forum?

Re: .410 Slugs
Is there such a thing as a shotshell hand press like the LEE one for metallic cartridges?

Re: .410 Slugs
From memory .303 brass can be used/modified. But im likely completely wrong. I remember asking what he was using and he muttered something about 303
Mate had .410 semi. Looked great spewing brass out. Certainly got a few members looking
I have some 410 brass but they too long for the box mag. Will fix that one day.
