Thanks, Parabola. That reflects my experience with constrictions in .410s, too. My years of shotgunning birds tells me I need plenty choke in a . 410 but I haven't been able to prove that in real life hunting. IDKW.

I know KyJon has no small amount of experience hunting with .410s too and, unless I have misunderstood his stance he believes in more than a little choke. I hope he checks in and expresses his current feelings about it.

Thanks for the reply, SRH

May God bless America and those who defend her.
