If not for shooting the .410 I would have been done shooting 30 plus years ago. I’ve shot a lot of .410 and have seen ammo improvements that makes todays .410 twice as lethal as is was just 30 years ago. A .410 will never be the true equal of anything from the 12 to the 28. But within limits it gets the job done, just as well if you do your part. It is not a 40 yard gun. Limit it to 30-33 yards and it is almost certain to get the job done. Keep it under 25 and it will always be capable of doing the job.
