Dec 26, 2019 Even standard velocity.45 Colt ammo gets enough of a boost in the 20″ barrel to take a deer at 100 yds. The only problem is that Rossi continues to use a 1:30 twist for the rifling, which limits bullet weights to about 265 gr. If you expect any kind of accuracy. And measure the bore of your.410 at the muzzle. If it comes out less than.452, you are asking for trouble. If it alot less than that, don't even think about it. I don't have a.410, so I can't do the measurement for you. I do have a T/C Contender with a.45Colt/.410 barrel, and it, naturally, is.45 caliber.

Mar 21, 2008 Ok, doing the math, I came up with the reduced load generating around 17,000 cup compared with a Hodgdon Ruger/Contender only.45 Colt H110 load with a 325gr bullet that generates 18,300 cup for 1000+ fps. You're right, this is probably more than the Taurus can handle.

I just got a New England Arms 410 pardner for my son, I've been told you can shoot 45 long colt in one, which is legal for deer in Okla. This one is chambered for 3' 410 and has a 26' barrel, The chamber is extremely thick. Any help is appreciated.

some guns can shot both colt 45 long and .410. I am not sure about the pardner. Your better off with a .410 slug if properly choked.

The short answer is NO, it would be unsafe. The standard bore diameter of a 410 is as expected 0.410 inches in diameter with constriction down to ~0.375 inch if your gun is choked about full choke . The 45 colt is 0.451-.454 inches in diameter. That is significantly larger than the bore of a 410 shotgun it would be unsafe and might blow the gun up. There are a few guns (most notable the T/C contender) that are made to chamber both cartridges but if you were to measure the bore it would be a bore for the 45 colt not the smaller 410 bore. mcb

Stick with the 410 slug. I'll be safer.

CS is right. I just looked real quick and the 45 colt only has a bit more than 400 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, a 410 slug has a bit over 600ft-lbs at the muzzle. The 45 shoot a lot heavier bullet so it will carry that energy down range longer but under 50yds the 410 slug is probably a bit better. Certainly safer to fire in a 410. I used my Winchester 9410 this past year for deer season with good success. mcb

Thanks guys for all the info, I think I'll keep it safe and shoot only slugs and not 45 long colt. You have all been a big help.

Listen to what's been said above! Don't endanger yourself by trying to force a .452 caliber bullet through a .410 'caliber' tube! Pressures will spike to levels never designed for the .410 barrel and maybe you'll create an instant grenade! When shooting a .410 through a .45 Colt barrel, it isn't a perfect scenario, but at least you're only 'trying to force' a .410-size bullet or payload through a larger-size ('over bore') .452 caliber barrel. Pressures remain acceptable.

Okie, Check out www.hr1891.com and look at NEF's Barrel Exchange Program. You can get a .45 Colt / .410 barrel fitted to your son's gun, although it might not shoot .410's worth a damn! (IMO) I had an NEF 'Survivor' .45C/.410, but wasn't impressed with its performance when shooting 3' #6's in the .410 and got rid of it. The NEF Survivor has a (perfectly legal) 16 1/4' rifled barrel for shooting the .45 Colt, but I never tried anything but the shotshell in mine. Check out that site.

Uh, no. And please don't ask the same about a .41 mag.
