Hello gentlemen:
The other day I was looking at the No.39 Lyman Ideal Handbook (copyright 1953) and find, in the shotgun section, a handload for the 410 caliber consisted of 1/2 oz of shot and 7 grains of HERCULES RED DOT.
Also there is a similar recipe with 5/8 oz. of shot and 6 grains of RED DOT!!!
I will be happy if I can use this data today, because I could reload 1,000 .410 shotshells with a lb of powder!
Why this 60 years old data was completly valid (published in a respetable handbook) then but not today?
What do you think?
Best regards,
