Within 10 yards, about the same as a .41 magnum.

Further away, somewhat less.

The .410 will cleanly take a clay pigeon at 25 yards with a load of 1/2 oz. hard lead 9's at 1300 fps MV, through a .007" choke. Centered, that's a dead clay even edge on. Past 25 yards, all bets are off.

I don't hunt with one since I can't shoot an ultralight gun very well at all and that's really the only selling point of a field 410.
