I have been rabbit hunting all season with a .410 this month and with a good bit of success <for me> but I shot at a rabbit yesterday that was crossing a gravel mud road at about 40 yards or so and I was impressed at the pattern at the distance.If I hadn't been a foot behind it the hare would have been in the skillet.I'm going to have to check the pattern when it warms up.I think there is something to a tight pattern on a .410.It needs something to compensate for 1/2 oz of shot.
