    Cheers! That's the type of shellholder that fits the budget.

    Well if you are happy to use 2.5" shells then .444 Marlin cases are excellent. I use them in my Winchester 9410 to great effect.

    I've had no luck trying to find a UK seller of .444 brass, any pointers?

    With plastic cases a 10mm punch is giving me wads which are about .403" and a re a perfect fit with negligible force needed to place down the hull. A 11mm punch is giving wads which are about .435" and need to be pressed down. I'm assuming the interference fit will provide a better seal or is this too much?
    When I do find a gun it will be reamed out to Improved/Cylinder choke.

    Tried a selection through a full choke .410 today. 10mm wads were fine but 11mm too much for full choke. |The 1/2 oz /12.5 gram load patterned at 20 yards nicely enough but 10 grains of Lovex SO60 was not enough wumph to penetrate at that range. However it made little more noise that an unsilenced 12ft/lb springer.
