Are there any safe loads using unique or 700x for the 410 in either 1/2 or 11/16 Yes I know 2400 is the best powder for it, but I have lots of unique and 700 Any safe suggestions would be welcome.

  700X and Unique Powder Burn Too Fast For The 410. Pressure would be too high. Stick with 2400 or what the manuals say.[:)]

  I had a lot of trouble with powder taking up too much space in
  the 410 shells with the book loads. Called Mec. They suggested
  using Winchester 296 powder. Due to its size, it is a unforgiving
  shell to get to crimp right with some book loads.

  I would stick with the mfg reloading data unless you are partial to plastic surgeons, hospitals, or graveyards. These guys are experts.

  Switch to Hodgdon's Little Gun for the .410
  It takes less powder so it needs less space. I started
  tried this and sold all my remaining .410 powder.
  You will have to buy new powder bushings.

  Thanks guys for your good suggestions. I am always on the safe side with reloading, but I know there is more than one way to skin a cat. I'll look into the 296 and the Hod. little gun Thanks!

  I like to try 17.0gr of Hodgon H110, using a MEC bush #13......with Win. WAA41 wad....pushing 1/2 oz. of #9 in a Rem hull.......Safe load, for me, and crimps & shoots good......there is enough safety factor there to use Win,Rem,Fed primers.....or I could also use a Win hull if desired.....Do initially weigh the powder when using a new bushing or powder.....NOTE:IF YOU BLOW YOUR BUTT UP, YOUR ON YOUR OWN......BEST OF LUCK.....john.....
