Does any one reload 410 shotgun shells ? Having trouble finding a press for sale in Australia.
Is it cost effective? Information will be much appreciated.

The club also gets offered local discounts which pushes reloading out of the picture. Last case I purchased at the club (250 shells) was $85 for no 7’s so I imagine 410’s wouldn’t be more than $100. If you have a local clay club - ask them, they will sell to non members. I don’t know the breakdown for reloading 410 - primers, cases, powder, wad, lead...and time and equipment might push it beyond the realms of positive accounting.
