    Looking at the Estate items I have. Tgey have some of these.
    So looking at the net. I see things posted both ways.
    1) That they are weaker for 410 Ga.shells.
    2)That they are more if a Magnum Type that Federal used to make them for .410 shotshell loading.
    And found this.

    I have some older data that calls for them.

    I believe they were discontinued when ATK acquired Federal.

    They are slightly hotter then standard 209 primers because the .410 normally uses slower harder to light powder in a longer column then the larger gages. Hodgdon data show a lot of ball powder loads like H-110 & W-296, in similar charge weighs used in a .357 Magnum revolver for instance.
    Kinda like the difference in standard and Magnum primers in metallic primer jargon I would guess.

    I no longer load shotgun but did keep the #9 shot for pistol shot shells.
    And was keeping these in case they would work in Black Powder guns.
    As I also found web pages that say they worked well in low power loads in that.
    As well as being a pack rat of gun stuff. Like the 1000 caps for cap and ball weapons :rofl: in case Indians Attack :rolleyes:
