When we bird hunt you never know whether you will be shooting ducks, Huns, Pheasant, ruffies, sharp tail or snipe etc, as all are open at hte same time. For a long time I have made 1 and 1 1/8 ounce loads of 1/2 and 1/2 mixes of 6 and 9 or 6 and 8 shot. I found these to be a perfect choice for everything from duck to grouse and pheasant. (now that we can't use lead on migratry can't iusethem on duck so carry some steel for those)Good dense patterns, and effective kills from 10 yards to out around 50 yards.
These were all 12 or 20 gauge loads so can't say how well this would work in a 410 but I know it is a scucome setup in the bigger gauges.
