Any practilatiy to this fellas or just a novelty load. Im not much of a shotgunner but found a couple of threads on US forums of blokes playing around with shotloads this heavy.

You have used them Bigpete? what sort of components were you running or were they factory shells

Ar2205,cardboard over powder cards, ¾oz of shot. Was a ehole back so I don't know the powder charge but I would have extrapolated it from known data

Interesting. How much weight of shot is in a standard 410 shell ?

Normally 1/2oz (219gn) or 11/16oz (301gn).

yes thats correct. The heaviest factory load I can find is the 5 x 000 buck load which at 70 grains a pellet means its 350 grains or 80% of an ounce, even heavier than 3/4. Hence which prompted me to see if anyone loads birdshot sizes etc that heavy as well. Id guess they would be fsirly low velocity loads.

410 is pretty underrated imo. Especially if you losd heavier shot. I've killed a ****** of rabbits and other pests including foxes with my old one
