klw Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Does anyone make a slug mold for the 410? klw 31116 Quote
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Go to cast boolits forum and poke around. IIRC there are a few folks casting different designs. Quote
Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Are these for hunting or a defense load for something like a Taurus Judge? Considering the expense in equipment and time, for hunting I'd think just buying factory Brenneke slugs at about $6 a box would be more economical. If they're a Judge load for short-range defensive work, wouldn't cast .41 caliber bullets work OK? Quote
Badlands Beady Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Not to hijack the thread, but that brings up a question: for short range defense, would a 410 loaded with a slug/bullet, or with buckshot/BBs, be better? Quote
klw Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 What I want is to make a conventional revolver cartridge out of the 410. Brass cases are available from at least two sources. Smith says that the bore diameter is 0.433??? So exactly what cast bullet will work isn't clear but that can be figured out. Somewhere out there there is loading data for a 410 slug. So this could be a new, conventional revolver cartridge. klw 31116 Quote
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 You might try giving Ross Allison a call at Old West Bullet Molds. He developed a load for a Judge using brass cases and (I think) 3 lead round balls. The round balls were cheap and available and the load was devastating on an old tree stump we tried it on. Not much good for long range but as a personal defense round it would probably settle the argument pretty quick. Regards Gateway Kid Quote

Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I recently got .410 inserts to make a damascus barreled SxS shootable. Got brass from MagTech, . . . loaded some with no. 7 shot and some with three .433 balls. Three of the balls on top of a card wad and 2f. Good short range load. Much like the "Guard Loads" that existed way back when for the .45-70 trapdoors. Quote
