3 inch .410 shells
Hello, I don't know if this is the place to post this question, but here goes. what is the difference between the 2 1/2 inch .410 shells, and the 3 inch shells ? Does the the 3 inch have more powder, or is the powder charge the same as the 2 1/2" and the 3" just has more shot. thanks Steve

They both average around 1150-1250fps...sometimes 3inch is faster...sometimes the 2 1/2 is faster depending on manufacturer. I reload the 3inch with a single stage press. and use about 13g of H110, with 11/16 oz #6 lead shot. |
difference = 1/2" or .500" or 12.7 MM or about this much [ ]
one holds more shot |
Better yet is to handload 3/4oz for the .410 then it is more like a 28ga.........Federal used to make them ..................Harold
