Default Reloading .410 on a rifle press??

I just got all of my reloading stuff for Christmas, and I'm having a lot of good luck with it so far (.30-06 and .44 mag), but now I'm shooting a lot of trap too, more than ever, but I shoot a .410, and they cost about as much as rifle rounds even for cheap shot. I have a Lee challenger O-frame press, and I'm wondering if there's any dies/accessories made that would allow me to load .410 rounds on my rifle press?? I'm not going to buy a shotshell reloader just for .410's, I can strain the price of the shells rather than fighting Two presses and all that shotshell reloaders entail, but if I can load them somehow on my rifle press, I'd be more than willing and wanting to do so.

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!

Default RE: Reloading .410 on a rifle press??

Nomercy,
While it is theoretically posible to load the small 410 on a standard press I am unaware of any dies made specifically for that purpose.
A 444 marlin or 45/70 carbide sizing die would probably work to size the case there would be decapping/priming to contend with, wad seating pressure, and of course the crimp. LEE makes a hand loader for 410 (I use one with an arbor press to load the few that I use) but if you need volume you should get a press for shotshell loading.
