[skeetman28]

Link below for lots of 410 load options, with velocity & pressures.
Alliant 410 will get 1300 fps with 3 gns less, if that's the objective.

Published loads are all I'm comfortable with.

I wouldn't push it. Pressure will build exponentially and your patterns will not improve.

What kind of shotgun are you using? Break action or pump?

Published data is conservative. If it's a break action, I say go for it. Load a few up and see how they shoot. Max PSI for a 410 hull, 2 3/4" shell (according to SAAMI) is 12,500. Those loads aren't even close to that, and an extra 0.7gn of H110 / 296 isn't going to get you there.

Chrono the current load and see where you are at. Maybe 410 or Lil gun would be better options on pow pow.

I use H110. Works well.
