.410

[rasbo]

I have a bolt action .410 thats a blast to shoot,I would hunt pheasant grouse and quail with it..

[Mr56Jeep]

I passes on a nice little .410 Remmington 1100 in 3" and I'm still sorry I passes.

I think .410 for upland would be rockin' cool!

A limit of decoying teal with a .410 would be a great day also 

I'll find one... still looking.

i also have an old bolt 410 however, i have never shot it. grandpa hid all the mags before he passed (12 years ago) and we never found them

hey Rasbo, is yours an old stevens? I think mine is a model 56 or something.

i think i might take it out and try clays with it later today tho

My guess is that in the real world you would wound more birds with a .410 because most people won't limit themselves to close range shots.

When I first got mine I used #71/2 shot had lots of grouse fly away after a solid hit. Finally I tryed #4 shot in it. Grouse DRT. Not near as many pellets but they hit much harder, give em a try you won't be disapointed.

.410 shooters are often a unique bunch.  They move to .410 because they know range and lead.  My guess, if you were going to generalize, is that you would probably see more wounded birds with 3-1/2" 12 gauge than with .410 due to the type of shooter that uses them rather than the amount of shot it puts up.

Just my

I shoot a .410 for grouse because i feel it holds a tighter pattern at grouse killing ranges ( 10-30 yds). I could see using it on Pheasants or Chukar if they were really tight holding birds and kept shots under 25-30 yds. I have shot clays with it and it really powders them when you hit em but you don't get the margin of error like you do with a 12.

I shoot the .410 for grouse, quail and doves, I have a MEC Jr to reload them. A buddy of mine loads #4 Bismuth for decoying ducks. I saw him drop a pair of mallards with his O/U last year.

My 9 year old harvested his first ducks this year with his single shot .410. It is hard to find steel shot for the .410

I got a New England Arms single shot in 410..... Great gun.... Has killed pheasant, grouse, quail, dove, coons, coyote, rats.... You name it..... Bought it when I was 21 from a friend of the family for $50 unfired!!!! I also have a TC Contender with a 410/45 Colt barrel.... Sometimes I just carry that around.... You only got one shot.... But when people see it they don't look twice!!!!       I mostly shoot # 4 or 5 shot......

I have a Remington 1100 .410, bought it to start my son shooting, took it out trap shooting was able to hit 18 of 25 the first time, bought a second  stock and cut it down for him, he was a dead on trap shooter with it at 10 yrs old, loaded my own shells, still a fun gun to shoot.
