.410 Brass shotshell reloading?

[Rocky Raab]

R2, Ken returned my check for his new book, saying that he was having difficulties getting it out. His health isn't great and he recently moved to another state, so I can understand the difficulties.

He says he'll get it done someday, though.

It will be great if he does. He's a real expert. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Self-publishing is a lot of work.

I'll probably beat him to press with my "Reloading 101" book. Mine isn't nearly the in-depth scientific study that Ken's will be. Mine is more of a Reloading for Dummies book (although I can't seem to get the "X For Dummies" people interested in it.) I'll likely publish it myself, just like the novel.

On the .410/.444 issue: your system makes sense for you. Stick with it. For someone doing them more on a one-at-a-time basis, the glue trick is great. FWIW, I use an old Lee Loader to create dinky little shot rounds for my .45 Colt. They end up being cylinder length, or 1.75" and hold about a third of an ounce of shot. I use trimmed down Federal wads, #9 shot and very small powder charges in trimmed Remington cases. Great fun in a revolver.
