    Resizing 410 hulls with handtools?

    I have accumilated quite a collection of .410s and decided to have a go at reloading. I have realised that there is quite a range of chamber sizes between my guns so I will need to resize the fired hulls. Is this possible with hand tools or would I need press of some sort?

    You can buy hull cutters to trim them down to where you want. Everything from a wooden block with a Stanley blade to this sort of thing https://www.claygame.co.uk/gaep-case-trimmer-pd262

    i bored out an old Lee carbide 45acp die. Cant remember the shell holder size but maybe 45/70.
    I use a single stage press - works well.

    And me. It does work well. I use it for sizing fire formed .303 cases for 410.

    DOH! Got the wrong end of the resizing question...

    I have an old Lee ‘whack it with a hammer’ resizer, I like the bored out .45 ACP die option though.
