.410 for turkey?

[Wetwoodshunter]

I was thinking about hunting the youth season this year with my 7 year old son. I have a single shot pardner model .410 with a full choke that he could use. Would this gun and setup work? Would tss damage the barrel like steel shot through a full choke?

We have killed many a turkey with .410.  Practice, practice, practice!!!  Keeps shots to reasonable ranges and go get a bird.

I've killed two turkey with a the same exact 410 in my 30's... One was 37 yards with 3" lead #5's... The other 24 yards... Same load... I used the same thing for pheasant...

All depends.  Growing up in CA it was rare to see a turkey.  Before I left, you could use a slingshot or pellet gun.  So most certainly a  410 will kill a turkey in the right conditions.

TSS has made smallbores competitors. 

I'd research a bit on the choke situation, but my gut tells me it'd be fine with such small shot.

Should be no problem at all. I would do what @jrebel said practice practice. I know @Russ McDonald swears by them with TSX. I would not use steel only lead or TSX.
