Man, I sure miss this gun
« on: February 06, 2010, 08:20:30 AM »
Here's a pic of the little 410er slug shooter I had. Always surprisingly accurate! The scattered shots outside the circle are buckshot, the shots in the circle are rifled slugs. She was a sweet little shooter! :-\

What were you using 410 slugs for ? here in New York in shot gun only areas for deer hunting we can't use anything smaller than a 20 ga. I knew some good ole boys 35 years ago when I first started hunting turkeys that would use 410 slugs
308 win                 45-70                       12ga         
30-30                    223 stainless steel   20ga TDC
44 mag                  Tracker II 20ga        20ga

  I had been thinking that a round ball loaded in a .410 case like a muzzle loader might give better results than the slugs being sold today. Has anyone ever tried loading their own .410 slugs?

How come all the holes are the same size? :-\
The outside holes look pretty darn big for buckshot. ;)

out of my .410, slugs and 000 buckshot make about the same size hole.

000 buck is .360 in diameter and slugs around .400 in diameter

Thanks, Zack
