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?

Good blokes to deal with, and shipping is very reasonable.

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.

Just roll crimp.
You will only need a powder measure.

Thanks, any .410 roll crimp?

Siarm sell them. Their website is easy to navigate and search.

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?

Is there such a thing as a shotshell hand press like the LEE one for metallic cartridges?

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.
