Yesterday, I went along on a year end close-out hunt with some guys up in the central CA valley at a hunt farm and, in addition to my regular 20g, took my fav 410 along just in case I felt the need to be humbled. Before I left I stopped in a store and bought some Federal 3" #6 shot loads. I've never shot this load before nor did I have a chance to pattern it. But, nevertheless, I took out the 410 first and loaded up. In a few minutes I had made a nice easy shot and clean kill with it. All said and done the load accounted for the high number of birds in our party and at least one long crosser. I was very impressed with the load and I think I'll pattern it to find out why it was working as well as it did. I may even take it to SDak next season.
