Re: Who likes the .410 shotgun?

Pitchy that is a beautiful SXS I had a Stevens 311 20ga when I was young that I sure wish I'd kept! I did find out what a .410 will not do and that is kill a coyote at 35 yards with #6 copper coated shot. I took this pump out to the orchard hoping to see a rabbit or two and mister coyote ran by me....

My CZ SxS has 28" barrels, 4 &3/4 lbs HAD 10 lbs trigger pulls! I scattered it out and deburred the receiver where the triggers were dragging and cut the pulls in half. Still a little heavy but with heavy gloves I'll keep 5 lbs.

Yes sir the 410 is much more effective than people think. I find open chokes are better, the long shot column and tight chokes cause flyers . I do use my 410 CZ with IC & M fixed chokes for preserve birds. I use 7&1/2s, 6s and sometimes 4s.(although I really prefer my 28) 410 slugs are quite...

I've been thinking about cleaning sharks... try going from nose to tail with your knife. The denticles on the hide are actually like teeth and they are point backwards. Also instead of using a good knife use a utility knife and throw the blades away- no need to wreck the edge on your buck.

I think the levergun applications would be limited by what seems to be a primary feature of this round -- headspacing on the case mouth.
