I sold all my factory loaded 410 shells. Over here 410 shells have been extremely rare to impossible to find over the last three or so years. My buddy who has a shop got a few cases of them this summer and limited purchasers to one box or two if they bought a gun from him. You got a good deal on that 410 loader, you will be pleased with it I'm sure. I suggest ditching the adjustable charge bar for loading the 410, they just don't work well when adjusted for the small charges of powder/shot the 410 uses. I have two MEC 600JR loaders set up for 410, one for 2-1/2" and one for 3", no need to worry about factory shells again.
Haven't seen .410 for sale for many years. I do have 4 MEC presses though to cover all 4 common shells I shoot, as well as making .410 brass from .303 brass.
Wonder why ya can't get .410 ?? I mean there's not a bunch in every store but ya can still get them.... Just bought 6 shot for my Governor .... be well MB.
Have not seen any in months. No supplier has them and when they do show up in stores they only get a case or 2 and there gone as fast as they get put out.
2 reasons #1 there was a big screw up over in France where all the 410 wadds are made and it caused a shortage of components world wide #2 Because of the shortage of components. the ammunition manufacturers re-tooled there 410 production lines to produce other shot gun cartridges. And now with the way the ammo supply is today it's not Worth it for any manufacturer to re-tool an ammunition line for 410 when they know they can sell all the 12 or 20 gauge coming off that line. 410 is not that popular compared to other shot gun rounds and it was slow to sell before the shortage.
