.410 in a 45/70

[J Smith]

I have read that you can shot .410 shells in the 45/70.

Anyone tried?

[nightrunner]

i never tried because i never got a definite answer. i heard that they could be used in a pinch, for say survival purposes if thats all you had, but over time they would mess up the rifling in the barrel

There are a couple of revolvers that will shoot .45LC and .410.

I have a .410 and wonder if it will handle .45LC

[J Smith]

I have heard that there is a chance of the .45 colt blowing the barrel of a .410

chance of the .45 colt blowing the barrel of a .410

[nightrunner]

are we talking about .410s in a .45colt or a .45/70 govt. ? 2 VERY different guns

[Mike.357]

I am talking about wanting to shoot .45LC out of a .410 shotgun barrel

im referring to the original question in the original post

Don't do it. Although the 45lc is not a high pressure round it does have more pressure that a 410. The max saami pressure for a non ruger 45lc is 14,000 psi. Rugers can handle a higher pressure. The max saami pressure for a 410 is 12500-13500 depending if it has a 2.5" bore or 3" bore. It doesn't seem like a lot of difference but I would not recommend it.

I have heard you could but have never heard about anyone that has.

Is there any other rounds that you can shoot in a 45/70,I now that if the is they would not feed from the tube.I am talking about loading them one at a time,like shooting .22 short in a 10/22.
