When you reload as many shell as I do at a time, it's always faster/easir to do each station at a time: Station 1.... deprime all of your hulls first Station 2.... prime your hulls Station 3 ...powder charge, wad, and lead shot (in my case a slug) Station 4 & 5... do all hulls in the same sequence whereby doing the starter crimp and then finish crimp, and done Once youre in rhythm of one station, you can keep that rythym going much easier/faster than if keep changing from one station to another
Thank you for your reply Okaw. Well now you've got me thinking. I was using the Remington STS primers, and the hulls were Remington, although I'm not sure that they were STS. Judging from the good experience you are having, maybe the hulls are my problem.
Thank you for your video Okaw. I am amazed that you are using Remington hulls in your 410 reloader. I tried to do the same and could not get primers to fit. They are too big for the hulls. Did you have to modify the hulls in any way or could you offer some advice? Sincerely, Jim
Jim sorry for the slow response again I use all Remington Components so no problems I have loaded 10000 of thousands of shells with this loader over the years.
I am looking to do #2 steel shot in a 3" 410. i was gonna be shooting this out of my raging judge magnum and possibly do some loads for my governor in 2.5 shells. both have rifled barrels and i was going to use a long wad so i wont damage the rifling. Any tips for loading with h110 powder?
+Rachel Shupe H110 and 296 are essentially the same powder from what I have been told. If you have not purchased a loader suggest you buy a MEC Sizemaster the loader is very easy to set up for 3 inch shells. Did you check the Hogdon website to see if there is a load for Steel shot? Steel requires a much thicker wad from what I have been told.
I have just been watching several others reload the .410. You sir, have just shown what can be quickly done by a competent re-loader.

not a bad little machine, you can crank those shells out pretty quick.
The single stage loader is the only way to go in my opinion with the .410 bore. You get a consistent product.
You can get literally any part for that loader at MEC engineering outdoors.
Hello, great video.. trying to find info on the press. Make, manufacture ect… any info is greatly appreciated..
Sorry for the delay. This is a MEC 600 JR from the early 80s. There are a number of upgrades.
Jim I only use Remington STS primers in the STS hulls also STS wads are recommended

What powder bushing do you use with your 296?
cal30m1 I believe a 10 or 11 however I adjust those and weigh when I change lots

+Rachel Shupe I just checked the Hogdon site there is no reloading data for steel shot with the .410 bore.
looks like your'e a leather worker too
I dabble. Thanks for watching.
