410 overshot cards quotation

Place an overshot card on top of the shot charge just before crimping to improve overall crimp quality and seal in small shot and/or buffer. Excellent for use with BPI Roll Crimpers.

Our testing lab has proven that poor crimps can alter the performance of an otherwise good load. Overshot cards always produce better, more consistent crimps and this consistency is demonstrated in the standard deviation of loads in our lab. Our ballistic lab recommends overshot cards for better crimps in all loads.

Clear Overshot Disks(either plain or printed with shot size) are also offered for great roll crimping options. See pictures in Additional Images or click on this link.

Shotshell size selection: Use the same size gauge as your hull. Smaller diameter cards also work if your particular size is out of stock. For example, a 20ga overshot card works in a 16-gauge shotshell and so on.

Not sure if anyone would be interested or not, but a while ago I got sick of being told my LGS was out of "specialty" shotgun components (non-resin wads, filler wads, cushion wads, overshot cards) so I decided to make a press-mounted tool to produce my own.

I"ve had a lot of inquiries about similar tools for 20G and .410; I doubt there"d be enough demand for me to make something in those, however if you know of anything similar please let me know so I can refer folks.

I am looking for .410 TPS wads, .410 overshot cards, .410 3" Cheddite primed hulls and .410 nitro cards. Would like to get about 30 wads, 90 overshot cards, 30 hulls and 90 nitro cards.

I currently have on hand .410 2.5" Fiocchi primed hulls, 20 gauge 3" Federal primed hulls, .410 Stretch 36 wads, .410 MG410 wads, 20 gauge VP92 wads, 28 gauge 1/8" cork, 28 gauge 1/4" fiber wads, 20 gauge low profile gas seals, 20 gauge 1/8" felt, 20 gauge over shot cards and probably more, have to look.

It would be a pricey kit, considering most would like 20 or so complete shells of a certain type. Some to pattern and several to hunt. Twenty quantity one and a half ounce TSS loads would run you approximately $120 in shot alone based on an average of $65 a pound. The remainder being the filler wads, nitro cards, over shot cards, wads, mylar and primered hulls. This would probably add another $15 dollars. That is approximately $6.75 a finished shell. Unless one understands the virtues of TSS, there is going to be sticker shock. Not to mention the start up cost of roll crimper, digital scales and powder of your choice at a minimum of another $60 roughly, driving the per shell price up to around $10 each. It is a labor of love and expense, but, to quote Billy Dean "When it comes to love you don"t count the cost". I would sure bet your wife does though LOL.

Going to try this again, do not need 410 stuff as much now. Would like to get some PT2090 20 ga wads, IF i can"t find those, BPI CSD 20 ga wads, BPI 28 ga Magnum wads and 1/16" nitro cards (.410). Looking for 10 or 15 items of each, to experiment with some new loads.

.410 3" Cheddite hulls primed, .410 2.5" Fiocchi hulls primed, 20 g 3" Fed hulls primed, .410 TPS wads, .410 Stretch 36 wads, .410 MG410 wads, 20 gauge VP92 wads, 28 gauge 1/8" cork, 28 gauge 1/4" fiber wads, 20 gauge low profile gas seals, 20 gauge 1/8" felt, 20 gauge over shot cards and probably more, have to look. Post up or PM>

Or, try this. Make yourself an elongated hardwood cone from just under .410 ga to 10ga out of wood that fits into your drill motor. Then, spin the cone inside your shell. It"ll develop enough heat to "iron" out the folds and leave the shell warm enough for a real good roll crimp. I"ve literally loaded thousands of hulls using this rig and it never fails me. The added attraction is that it leaves more interior volume for POWDER!

I have reloaded only a few 410 shot shells (my powder and grain choice is still a bit hot and burns the plastic hull), I hade a resizer made on the dimensions of a new shell and it works an the same principle as a lee classic loaders resizer, you put the case in and whack it with a plastic hammer. to remove the primer drill a hole in a plank slightly larger than the primer, put the shell over it and use a long nail to whack the old primer out. the new primer you put it in the hull and press hard it should go in or use a small ratchet extension rod and the square hole that the ratchet connects to goes over the primer inside the hull and then give It a light whack. load your amount of powder (there is a load in the somchem book for it) press your wad down load your shot add a over shot card and then roll crimp an a drill press or with a hand drill. the wads, over shot cards and roll crimper is available from http://www.ballisticproducts.com and they do send to SA just email them. for a over shot card you can use a round hole leather punch and old milk cartons. I hope this helps.

Having asked advice and slowly got all the required components and kit together, I"m almost ready to start getting some .410 cartridges made. Just needing the powder now which I"ll be collecting in a couple of days. As pictured below I"m using a basic set-up with a manual RTO tool from ebay (imported from Russia). Recipe is for 19 grams of no.6 shot in a 3" case.
