Was through loading my standard 2½" 410 AA(HS) shells . . .
- ½oz / #9 / lead / 15.8gr/H110 / WAA410HS Wad

...when I looked over my bench and saw a couple of fired Herters hulls I ordinarily just throw away


At $12/box I thought "What the heck...?" and ran them through the same MEC600JR cycle/components as the Winchester AA's I'd just finished.

Perfect loadout/crimp.

I'll chronograph them tomorrow to get a hint at pressure, but the perfection of the resulting shell surprised me.
I'd expected to get a Frankenstein -- but the Herters looked better than the AA's.

Anyone else ever reload them on a lark?
 
yep. got piffs and poofs with 14.6gr. you may do better with 15+.
h110...holy cow thats some old powder. I got a ton of it and use it in aa's mostly now.

You have data using rifle/mag handgun powder for shotguns? Just curious.

H110/W296 is actually the long-favored shotshell powder for 410
See Hodgdon Reloading Data and/or Lyman Shotshell book.
