    I don't shoot a lot of .410, less so now the kids have flown the coup, so didn't see the point of buying a press. Put together a hand rolling kit from various bits and bobs to great effect:

    a punch
    a de priming base, easy to make
    priming tool, hand held
    case trimmer, optional but well worth it
    set of scales + measures and dips
    roll crimp tool, to fit on electric drill
    case vice, optional but I found it made life much easier hand drill crimping.

    Once I'd settled on a recipe and got organised with case selection and consistent trimming, the end results were as good if not better than many commercial loads but at significantly less cost.

    Between https://www.ballisticproducts.com/Lo...partments/249/ clay & game and 2nd hand pages on shooting sites, putting your own kit together isn't too difficult.

    I got quite a bit of help from folk on here along the way.

    Do you have photos of your tools and are they all obtained in UK or self manufactured.

    I used to make hand loading kits for .410, it isn’t hard to knock something up and just buy a roll crimp to go in a drill.

    I also have a box of Lee Loader parts back at my house, I’ll have a look next time I’m over for .410 bits.

    Lee stopped making them ages ago, and when they do turn up for sale go for more money than you may think.

    Best to buy a new one from another manufacturer. Try here https://www.thexringusa.com/

    Technically, you could reload .410 with a 4" nail and a block of wood with a large drilled hole to de-prime, a wooden dowel with a drilled end to press the case on the primer, scoop for powder and shot, and a rolled turn over tool

    They will not ship to UK atm but put me in touch with another company but cost is approaching £100 with shipping and import fees plus.

    I can't post a photo in here.

    I started out with just a Rocky Mountain 410 kit bought off here and added bits and bobs as I went. Case trimmer may not be needed if just reloading occasionally but sat with a hundred or so used hulls to prep the trimmer helps no end, same with the hull vice, I'm not using a pillar drill as I find consistency in hull construction is got from consistent component assembly leaving just the right amount of free case to form the roll. Once I got the knack it's simple and tidy enough with a hand held drill.

    Rocky Mountain kit instruction with photos here:

    As said all you really need at a push tool wise is a means to crimp the case and a set of scales, got both on the bay/amazon for less than £40 posted, everything else you probably already have, made 100’s of carts for the hushpower this way, no complaints from the pigeons......when i hit them that is 🙄
