Hi All and Merry Christmas

Is this crimp ok for 410 or is it too deep? AAHS hull

Thanks

Depends on the rest of the recipe and the operating pressure at average depths.

The crimp looks Excellent. I wish all of mine looked that good. I love shooting my little Citori .410! Merry Christmas, Ed

Are you serious or just bragging. That crimp is perfect......

Looks good to me
410 can be finicky
Enjoy

Stop patting your your own back. Your gonna need that arm in good shape to make hundreds more!!!!

Yeah, have to agree with everyone, that is a very nice crimp!

Actually a crimp that good is seldom seen on a factory shell. That reload is probably a bit slack on shot weight in my mind.

Thanks for all the posts. First time loading 410. Using a MEC Grabber. 1/2oz home made #8 shot, claybuster wad and 15.3gr of W296. Going to have lots of fun next year shooting skeet!!!

Good load. Been using it for quite a few years now with a couple tenths less powder. It makes the perfect stack height in the HS hull.

that’s my load. 15.3 gr. of 296. Throws a nice pattern. Stack height works too.

1/2oz meaning how many grains? If you're dropping a true 1/2oz(218gr) you are short of a factory AA which averages 225gr of magnum shot. If you're using an unaltered Mec 1/2oz charge bar you're probably even short of 218gr.

Besides,
NSSA allows 232 gr max for .410.
So if your a serious skeety,

I put in the extra lead. Bought one of the bars where you can put bushings in both the powder and shot side of the bar. I need all the soldiers I am allowed with the 410.

Very smart choice! Why handicap yourself?

My MEC bar is dropping 223gr of my home made #8

Have some #9 drippers coming. Will have to bump up the weight a bit.

Thanks for the info

These are pretty typical of my .410 loads. If it dropped any more shot they wouldn’t close...

Wow...beautiful crimps. I'm lucky if even half of my .410 crimps look that good!
