One of my favorite 410 torture videos.

I have 303 cases on hand. Would there be any other safety concerns?Good lord aren't .303 brass way more expensive and hard to find then .410 shells? This seams like a good way to mess up a shotgun. If you modify the chamber you run the risk of loosing the ability to fire a .410 shell as the thing will slip forward and you might not get a good primer strike.
Being able to use your standard press is a big reason to do this. Your write up on the conversion was great.My post:
.410 Brass hulls made from .303 cases - How to
Greetings, One of the members here wanted me to share my method of how to do this. The backstory: I have enjoyed .410 as a novelty/small game and garden type gun in the past but always found the ammo to be excessively priced for the performance. I have a few sporting friends who are into...www.northwestfirearms.com
You have to thin the rim on the top not headstamp side unless you can recut the primer pockets due to primer seat depth.
I wonder if a drill/drill press could be used with a hacksaw blade easier and better than a file?
My primer pocket unifomer wont go deep enough to make it happen.
I only use LPP.
A lot of folk wonder why anyone does this.
My thoughts:
I can use 7/8 dies and load without a shotgun press.
I get more case volume with brass which means I can load .390 buck in .410 (90 gr pellets instead of 50 gr 00 buck).
I come across cheap .303 brass whatnots from time to time and have no other use for them.
I like the little full length brass shotshells, there is something just sexy about them.
Because I can and its a labor of love.
