410 for grouse?

[Lead ball 54]

What are your thoughts on loads and distance the gun is a single shot thanks

[jasnt]

Work great

Depends on the choke, but it does not take much to kills grouse.  #5 from a mod or full I would not hesitate at 35 yards

I have a single *censored* with a modified choke that I’ve killed a truck
 Load of grouse with. I’d prefer it had a full choke but
I dance with the girl I brought. I limit my shots to 25 yards or less

[woodswalker]

its what i have been using for over 45 years...loads of #5 or #6 shot and down they go.  I have a Hercules single shot that i was given at 10 by my grandfather.  Longish barrel, full choke, kills them dead every time from stick distance out to about 35 yards...which is as long as i go on them.

3 inch 410 in a contender! I was on a roll earlier this fall but of last I'm just chasing them off the road. 

I use contender with 10inch barrel good to a max of 25 yards. Killed 8 grouse in camp with it this yr no choke but a wad stop

Get a box of federal tss 7 shot

I use a o/u 410 for grouse. Works great with 3" #5's or 6's.

Model 37 Winchester 410 3 inch full choke. Got it from Grandpa Pete in 1956, still have it. Killed hundreds of grouse and Pheasants, 4,5,6 shot 3 inch. and does not tear them to shreds.

Heck yeah, my single shot .410 is always with us in case we run into a thunder chicken. Or in this case, a prairie chicken!

Used to drop geese with a 410 as a kid.  Definitely good enough for grouse!

Same ballistics as 12 gauge, just a whole bunch less shot.  Pattern at different distances and act accordingly.

I killed a pile of them with a full choke single shot Savage shooting 3" #6's. To be completely honest I can't remember ever going out with anything besides a .410 for grouse. These days I have a Mossberg 500 .410 for that job.

I’m buying a 20ga after all the missed/wounded grouse this year. I was using my bolt action JC Higgins 410, choke  unknown, with 3in 7 1/2 shot.

How much you want for the gun. Lol
Because my experience with a 410 has always been good.

12 gauge or stay home

I’ve killed hundreds of grouse with my 60 year old side by side .420. Great gun.
