.410

Tempting Wa hunter! Too bad I have graduation for my kid in the next week!

Congrats on your Graduation JBar.  I shoot a 410 contender and have killed a grouse with it and I like to shoot my winchester 94/410 at the skeet field now and then.  Fun gun and I get some raised eyebrows when I walk to the station with my model 94.

I use a .410 Stoeger double S/S with double triggers and full set chokes. It's a killer, and I'm counting down the days to Sept. 1.
Hopefully, more and BIGGER grouse this fall!

Not so fast 

I'm still looking for the right .410 and then a season to take a hero shot of something before I get back in the argument.   

Nice pic though

Well I am the odd ball here I guess I take grouse with my Judge revolver or Circuit Judge. and I love them both.

I like the Savage model 24. I like the .410 but ended up going with the 20 just because of the ammo... There are still lots of 22lr .410 O/U out there and are a great gun for grouse/rabbit.  I think you do have to have a special mindset to have a .410 You have to WANT a less powered shell that costs more than the "standard" 20g... If your into reloading then you can likely justify the cost better than most and have the appreciation of that very cool shell.

I'll keep this going too! You're right Dave that is a small grouse in your picture! 
I was actually looking at a Tristar .410 O/U today, I'll have to do some research on this one but it's nice for the $$ also shoulders and points really well.

The 20 gauge is perfect for grouse. With the 410 you're giving up a lot of range. I have killed blue grouse with a 410, and I have also shot them, knocked them down, just to have them get up and run or fly away.

or the 28 gauge

from a ballistic /pattern standpoint, its amazing the .410 kills as many birds as it does. but just because you can kill a bird with it may not mean you should. I want something with a more forgiving pattern to hunt wild birds with.

However, I tend to have my H&R single shot .12 gauge in the truck usually. I think about getting a .410 sometimes but would rather spend the money on something else.

If they made a side by side shotgun/rifle that shot 410 45LC then i think I might consider it... I'm pretty sure H&R makes a single shot like that tho.

Doesn't a .410 require some measure of skill  whereas a 12g or even a 20g you can just spray and pray
