I have a difficulty getting my 410GNR loads to fire without cratered primers and or primer flow back into the firing pin hole and locking up the cylinder. I have tried loads (starting loads in Gary's manual) using W296, H110 and wc820, Winchester, Federal and CCI primers of the magnum persuasion and standard, with the Sierra 170JHP and Hornady XTP and still have not gone more than one cylinder full before a problem. I brush out the cylinder and clean it out with a dry patch before I try another change in load. The first loads I fired through it were from Andy at CPE and with all three I had the same problem. I'm using LJK-CPE 410GNR headstamped brass. I have 0 problems with 41 Mag loads in a second cylinder in this gun. Suggestions from Gary and any Misfit are greatly appreciated.

every gun is different. If you are getting cratered

primers you are just too hot. Go a grain or even 2 below my starting loads and work up. Andy's loads were hot and would not be a good starting load. With 296/H-110 and the 170 grain bullet start with 29 grains and ease up from there. With 296/H-110 and the 210 start with 28 grains and work up. We have built literally hundreds of 410 GNR barrels and revolvers and never had any problems that dropping a grain or two didn't help.

Thanks Gary.

Be too hot as well. Gonna pull the bullets and decrease the powder. If I order any more from him I'm gonna ask for 1/2 grain powder or so below starting loads.

Andy is no longer in business. Go with Colorado

Cartridge Co. They currently load all the GNR ammo.

On a related note.

Does anyone have experiences using Barnes XPB in the 410GNR? I know Gary is no fan but if I want to hunt with the 410GNR in this state I have to use non-lead projectiles. I'm hoping Hornady expands its line of mono-flex type bullets (without the flex) for 44, 41 etc but I won't hold my breath. The alternatives to the Barnes are very spendy.

if any possible way, stay away from Barnes.
