I would love to use bismuth or TSS, but this gun was made in the 40’s so pretty much restricted to lead what works is REM express 3” #6. I think Santa is going to bring a new 410 for TSS
Watching my 9 y/o grandson struggle to use a full size sate call. I came up with a smaller 3” slate in purpleheart. Much easier for him to manipulate. Also scaled the striker down. Hope to put it to use this weekend. Supposed to rain the rest of the week so hopefully we’ll be able to get across...
