Trimmed and fire formed .410 case. .44 heeled bullet. Works like a champ. I would have thought that with all the weight the barrels have it would have been chambered for a better cartridge.

I suppose to ream this chamber to another more 'modern' cartridge like the .444 Marlin; but even if loaded with BP would be like dressing up an old lady like a tramp..........possible, but just not the done thing!
Glad you've had a win Casper!
Well done after all that work mate, perseverance always pays off.
