Stan, have you loaded any of the Alliant MP -300? I used it for early season dove and recently on two quail hunts. It worked very well with good velocity and low pressures. Some of theses 3" .410 loads can be a little slow (1050-1100fps). It is 1200 fps not the Skeet shooters norm of 1300 plus that smokes clay targets. But it does pattern well and gave good clean kills. I know your guns are modern and fully capable of dealing with highs pressures but I have found many of those type loads pattern poorly and the .410 is one gun you can not afford poorly pattern ammo.
It also works well in the 28 ga.. I used it last year pass shooting doves late season and found it to be amazing. So good that I thought I might have learned how to shoot better just by reading of Mr. Woods fine shooting progress under the gentle tutoring he is getting.
