After about 10 months with no update I'm wondering how the project turned out? Dropped, blown up gun. worked OK, what? I am simply curious as I would never attempt anything like this. Everything was good up until using a powder you know nothing about.

To satisfy your curiosity, the reuse of the powder is essentially dropped. The primers and shot are most definitely being kept!!! All the other 16-gauge shells will go on GB as I have absolutely no use/need for them.
God Bless, Frank.
That is good info to know!!! And if needed I can always use those primers on my inline muzzle loaders!!! I understand that there is a supply chain issue with primers in general.

If you need any loading data, just send me a pm, and I will be more than happy to send you any of the info I have. I have Ballistic Products small bore manual, and they have lots of different loads for a .410.
I just tried one today that is absolutely a long distance hammer out of a .410. It uses a TPS 410 wad which is designed for tungsten or steel shot, with lead shot. It’s a full length wad for a 3” hull that is pretty thick. You can only get almost 1/2 oz of shot in it (218 grains is 1/2oz, and it is 213 grains). Full choke Browning White Lightning .410 posted this at 35 yards with 6 1/2 nickel plated shot. 108 shot on the board out of 114 in the load. Pretty dang good.😬 Oh, and it’s like 1340 fps.
