When I hunt pen-raised pheasant with my .410 NS choked F/M I do miss more often, but when I hit the burd he's usually dead when he hits the ground. I also have a .410 hammer gun that has no chokes at all. I seldom ever miss with the gun, but I do drop more cripples. However, my golden retriever quickly brings them to hand for a quick dispatch. That said, I suppose it's a good idea to have a dog when you take your .410 out hunting (unless you're a better shot then me, which I'm sure 75% of the folks reading this are).
