Eightbore I am sorry if you or others think I was worried about if your loads were (legal), too heavy. As long as they are not under-inflated I do not care.
But your loads should be more consistent than lighter loads and the name of the game when it comes to shooting the .410 is to be as consistent as possible.
I used AA for practice and Remington for registered targets many years ago. While I was not loading an extra eight pellets I was loading an extra 1.5 grains of powder. Smoking hot loads and I am certain they were above the 1200 fps norm. But the factory Remington were as well. They ran almost 75 fps higher than the AA on my chrono and as the say speed kills, more birds. I wish we had 300-MP powder back then. 1300 fps at 6800 psi. What could we have done with that powder? But in the end the same shooters will shoot well with any loads. Talent tops equipment in the end.
