.410 and 28ga slug ammo
« on: July 22, 2009, 12:13:14 AM »
I just received this email from Star's and Stripes Ammuntion.  It's in regards to their ability to produce higher quality slug ammo for the small gauge shotguns.

Adam,
 
We make both 28ga and 410 Bore slugs.  Our slugs are considerably more powerful than OTC slugs, and that's if you can find any in these calibers, especially the 28ga.
 
The 410 Bore is a real shocker with slugs.  Our top loadings produce rifle like velocities in shotgun length barrels.  Our 93gr Ball is blasted along at 2,850 fps in the 3" hull, and about 75fps slower in the 2-1/2"
 
If you have a fully rifled barrel chambered for 410, we can actually do a lot with that.  I can load a 45 Colt bullet and duplicate the 45-70 very easily,  but I can only use a brass hull for this loading as it has the internal space to accomodate the oversized bullet.
 
Pricing on both of these starts at $39.99/box of 25.
 
Call to order, 727-530-1129
 


 I believe that it may be necessary to exercise some caution, especially while dealing with the higher pressures associated with a cartridge that can duplicate 45-70.  I guess it all depends on the gun being used. Also, I have sent back a reply asking for more info about the 28ga ammo to see if it is loaded with a bullet or ball. I'll keep everyone posted with what I learn.

Thanks, Dinny

Right now, I don't have a 45/410 barrel.  When/if I get one, I will have my gunsmith rethroat and recrown it in hopes that the ammo guys will accept the barrel for measurements to develop the best ammo possible. My thoughts right now are to try the round ball ammo in my .410 smoothbore and then perhaps in the .28ga if that load is a round ball also.  There have been plenty of animals killed with round balls in the past. I know I certainly don't want to be shot with one. ouch! ouch!

I'll post anymore info that I am able to get.

**EDIT** Due to a recent change in my household income(wife quit her good paying, stable job :-X), I am forced to abandon this project. I have a good lead on a .45/.410 barrel and gunsmith who can throat and recrown the barrel.  Anyone interested in continuing the project can send me a PM for more details.


Thanks, Dinny
