Bet he votes for the greens too. :roll_eyes:

Making 410 out of 303 brass isn’t that unreliable, tons of people have done it.
Buy a wad punch to stamp out wads and cards and you’re on your way.

No… I vote for the Liberals so I have have something to complain about with their shocking environmental policies…

:yum::rofl:

Thanks for that link, Dude. :ok_hand::+1:

Not sure if my mate has tried it or is going off hear say but he was quite sure that there was a high failure rate in the conversion… might look into it more but if I can buy proper shells new then why bother!?!

So how do I seal the shell?
Is it an over card and roll or is it a star crimp… I just like the idea of this old gun with brass shells… kind’a cool an’ old skool…

Just reading I can buy and use cork or felt wads in the brass shells and glue an over card to seal it, rather than crimp the shell.

Just thought I would repeat myself.

Yes, i could but i want to use brass shells/hulls to avoid plastic. I think if i bought 50 brass shells they would last me pretty much for the rest of my life.

Yeah, I agree you should be able to reload brass cases indefinitely.

Then cut rifling and make some slugs. Boom, a nice double barrel 45LC. I approve.

Well, I guess your approval is what I base my decisions on… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::thinking::yum:

I am keen on the idea of slugs, though… those zombie wallabies won’t stand a chance!

Ooh… imagine the hipster kudos in hunting fallow deer with an old skool .410 Damascus SxS with slugs… I might look into the legalities of that on in Tas!

You won’t get any hipster kudos, because you wanted to get hipster kudos. That’s not how hipsters work, ironically. Besides, hipsters and hippies are mortal enemies.

Minimum of 6mm diameter and capable of 1350joules at 100m… how do i figure out if a 410 slug will do that???

It’ll do the diameter, you just need to get your speed and weight and do some maths.

Dunno the maths, but…

I dont off the top of my head anymore either, but I’m sure Google will have it.

I guess you could do a modification of the Harley tighten up a nut process.
Just keep increasing the powder until it goes bang and then back it off a little.

It does have 2 barrels and you only really need one…:man_supervillain::man_supervillain::man_supervillain::man_in_tuxedo::man_in_tuxedo::man_in_tuxedo:

There’s probably an online calculator or two too.
