Wild Hare TIME !!! All Brass 410 & Round Ball

[Coffinmaker]

   I posted this question elsewhere too.  But ...... I have a rifle chambered in .45 Colt/410.  Lotta bullet jump.  So, why not drop a
45 Colt load of BP in an all brass 410 hull, then filler, then cap it off with a round ball.

Gotta be somebody whose done it and survived the experience 

Wanna share??

Ain't been there, ain't done it, but know about this one, worked for the Swiss, but they used a real bullet.

Barnes's book says it used a 235 gr bullet.  I see no reason to not use something like that.

a ball that will fit in a .410 hull might be a little loose in the .45 bore.   Maybe a longer .454 Casull case (with a .45 colt load) would work better?

I used to load .444 Marlin cases for my .410 shotgun, using 1/2 ounce of shot, cut off RP wad and 12 gr. of unique - a .44 mag gas check, cup down on the shot and crimped kept the shot in the case.  This load patterned better than 2 1/2" or 2" plastic store-bought hulls.
If fireformed in your .410/.45 colt gun, I do not see why a proper(for the gun) round ball or bullet could not be loaded in the Marlin hull.
