Chuck,
I'm looking at .410 use from the opposite direction. Collect most of my birds then take out the .410 to finish up. But only on Bobwhites. Maybe Woodcock. Might be fun on Rails. Chokes are too open for Doves but I could look for another .410 and set that one up for Doves. THIS .410 thing could be a problem!

I have gravitated the way of Chuck, using 410s more and more on doves/quail. When I began using one on doves several years ago I had the intent that I would only do so on opening day, when our doves consist of more non-mature birds, and are less wary which presents you with a higher number of closer shots. Then, after a couple years I decided to use it on Labor Day, as well as opening day. Last year, I got big in my britches and took one on two late season dove shoots, where the doves are bigger, tougher and warier. Still killed limits with a reasonable number of shells. However, along the way I have "acquired" a total of five 410 doubles.
"This 410 thing could be a problem" .......but, what a fun problem it is!
