Hi Friends, a while back I had a post about on old H&R single shot shotgun I picked up. It's marked "410-44 cal" on the barrel. From my understanding it used to take 44 cal. shotshells or 2" 410 shells. I don't think either is made anymore. Does anyone know of someone that can make me a few? This gun was made in 1919 so I would want a light load to be easy on the gun. Help??? Thanks, Bernie
 
Suspect finding somebody to make 'em for you will be a problem. Legal and liability issues.
However, you can buy Magtech, 2.5", brass .410 cases from Midway for $22.99 per 25 and trim 'em. Currently on Backorder, of course, but it gives you an option.
No idea where'd you get data. Try the Lyman book. Or rummage around here(that's probably a good idea anyway). http://www.fourten.org.uk/light.html
 
Your best bet is probably RST. They offer specialty loads, most of them specifically so that old shotguns can be fired without stressing them, for quite a few gauges and chamber variations - including 2" .410.

Unless you have a friend that can help you load shortened brass cases, that's the only reasonable option I know.
There are legal and liability issues that come into play for anyone but a licensed manufacturer to load them for you.
Selling shortened cases? Not a problem. (Even if primed.)
Selling commercial shot? Not a problem.
Reselling wads/cards/etc.? Not a problem.
Reselling powder and primers? Not a problem; but difficult and expensive to ship.
Selling loaded shells? Potentially a very big problem.
