Brass 410 shotshells
Posted: 03 Nov 2014 17:13
Please do not beat me up on this as I know Zip-Nada about shotshell reloading except for 12 guage Lee loader.
Read an article about making 410 brass shotshells out of 303 rifle brass.
Measured a 410 shotshell and a 303 brass and it seems it would be feasible.
Friend gave me 3 303 brass to play with.
Can open it up with several of the M die spuds but not full length
Tried one in my 410 and it will not close as the rim slips past the ejector.
Reason is brass body is too small and lets the brass slip to one side enough to allow it to slip past the ejector.
Anyone know of a tool to expand the full length of the brass?
