Sure, pattern it to figure out your max range and aim point

Absolutely. Pick up a box of spendy Federal TSS and pattern your gun and knock over turkeys at will at 40 yds. :tup:

The Federal TSS heavyweight loads are becoming more popular in those 410s for turkeys. 

As nwwanderer suggested, pattern your load of choice with your choke of choice and determine your range.

I don't see why not as long as your shot size is no bigger than 4 shot.  I am taking out a terminally ill boy from Ohio thhe first weekend of May.  He is shooting a .410.  At 40 yards he is putting 190 pellets in a 10" circle.

My Dad has a judge and we've laughed about that too. On a more serious note for anyone inquiring, it is classified as a pistol and doesn't qualify for turkey. You can bet I'd shoot the tar out of turkey with one if I could.

TSS loads are interesting.  But a lot of writers are making the point that patterning your .410 and getting them in relatively closer is more important than expensive TSS loads.

6 shot at 1,300fps out of a .410 is the same exact thing as 6 shot coming out of a 12 ga at 1300fps.  Shot is shot.  Pattern dictates range, not the gauge of the gun :twocents:
