The gun I didn't know I needed...

After getting beaten by this small calibre at Casa de Campo, I have been watching out for one I want.
All of the over and unders I would be happy enough with are outside of my budget, so I had to think outside the box!

Nobody really takes the .410 seriously in the US so it's pretty cool seeing some content for it on KZbin. Thanks.

[@ronaldwoofer5024]

because the ammo costs more then 50bmg...

[@newscoulomb3705]

I would say that's only true of the "influencers." With the introduction of TSS, you're seeing a lot more hunters gravitating to the .410. The bigger issue is, lead shot has been broadly banned for bird hunting, and steel shot in the .410 simply isn't effective. So when it comes to hunting with the .410, the choice is essentially bismuth or TSS, both of which are more expensive than steel in 12 or 20 gauge.

[@mabs9503]

@@newscoulomb3705 No, I'm speaking from growing up in the rural south. At least for the past 30ish years I've never known anyone to own or use a .410 for anything.

Some great points made across the board in this video. From the viewpoint of a US shooter, .410 and 28 gauge are all you really need for "bird" shooting. For my part, small bores are the best trainer for experienced shooters. Shooting 12 gauge in 8+ pound guns make me develop bad habits like shooting only from the waist up and not utilizing the rest of my body for consistent, smooth shots. I tend to use the method Josh adapted of insert behind and swing through with help from my legs to swing rather than just pushing with my arms. My vote; make it fit you and guard it with your life. It will give you great pleasure for the rest of your life.

My wife and I do quite a lot of walked-up game shooting stateside over our English setter, and our AyA #4 boxlock ejector small bore guns have never let us down - affordable, reliable, effective, handsome, wonderfully crafted, nicely balanced and light weight - guns we can carry for long periods with little fatigue.

We're using this caliber in Turkey with AR platform shotguns. Production of real AR15 platform shotguns is very common in Turkey. .410 is very suitable for tactical shooting.

The other thing is the recoil is relatively close to the .223. .410 slugs are reliable for gas blowback systems so you can use it in real AR15 platform shotguns.

I used the Hull 11gm load 7’s and Fiocchi 19gm 71/2’s and while I did better with the 19gm the 11gm were more fun to shoot in this little gun and were noticeably quieter and they’ll be the ones I use at the farm on fields where noise is an issue.

I acquired my .410, a Henry single shot, a few years back as a lightweight turkey gun. With Apex Ninja TSS 9.5s, it throws a killing pattern to at least 40 yards, a dozen or more hits in the head and neck with the factory Turkey choke (by Briley BTW). With a Skeet tube, it shoots Brenneke slugs like a rifle, two-inch three-shot groups at 50 yards, with a sight of course. I had it d&t for optics and have used a red dot and a small prism sight. Right now, it’s bare, because I shoot it at 5-stand when I can get shells. They are, as you said, hard to find, and expensive when you do, at least $14 a box. Great fun on the clays, and since I can call the targets I want, those 35 yards and under, I do pretty well with it. Not quite ready to drop big bucks on a double, but I’m getting closer. Fortunately, the Henrys generally have nice walnut at least, and the ejector is almost a weapon itself; really tosses them! Great video, as per usual. Thanks.

Aye up mate we were patterning some guns yesterday my friend had a .410 so we said why not so at 40 yds it pattern really well I think it surprised us all cheers for another great vid bud

[@stephenrice4554]

I had a lovely little franchetti 410 . It folded in half and was easy to carry while fencing, hedging , myriad things. Some rabbits , pheasies, fell down on front ofme and had to be warmed up in the oven 🤔

[@jacobkean03]

I remember hunting squirrels when I was a kid with a side by side 410. So much fun to shoot.

[@Emanemoston]

My papaw used to use the .410 and his hunting buddies would always rib him about it since they all used 12ga. But he was outshooting them.

[@danpit2001]

my first gun was a single shot iver Johnson 410 when i was 8,im 45 now and even though i have 20s and 12s that little 410 is still the one i grab 80 percent of the time

[@4by4squared88]

I owed 165 .410’s so I know them pretty well. My gun of choice was the Winchester Model 42. You can see my collection on here if you go to Winchester Model 42 collectors. It was on TV too.

[@vinceparke5740]

My dad got a deer every year he went hunting with a single shot .410. He pissed off my uncles who had rifles with scopes.

Several years ago I was hunting quail with a Turkish .410 at a private plantation in South Carolina. The owner, who was a long time friend, said I wasn’t getting “good” kills. I shot back - “They’re going down aren’t they.” Finally, a quail got out about 40 yards over a stand of pines, pulled the trigger and rolled it up. I turned around and just shrugged and said “Was that a “good” kill?” The fact is on bird - kill bird with whatever gauge you’re shooting.

Ammo certainly not cheap! 😮

[@dingo5208]

I have a 410 pump, good gun for close grouse and squirrels and little else. I have it's matching serial number in 20 gauge so they're a set. They're both fun to shoot but for any serious shooting I shoot one of my 12 gauge shotty's.

[@mikeasel144]

I watch all your videos and I know you have been to the USA. I am wondering why I haven’t seen you shoot a round of skeet or trap . I would also like to suggest maybe shooting a tubed gun (410,28,and 20) . Look at the NSSA it is all over the world and very competitive. I am hooked now for 20 years.

[@willaimwinchell1813]

I love the 410. In December I'm going to buy another 410, Beretta 2 barrel set, 28 and 410.

[@hayder1976]

what chokes do you have on the gun?

[@antman7473]

Excellent segment! Except now you have me researching side by side 410's. I have a Beretta 682S barrel set that has all the gauges. I have shot at least one pretty good round with 410, but I usually just laugh at myself a lot when I shoot that size. Its the only way to cope. :)

[@DennyBass]

When I was a kid, I started with a single shot .410 dove hunting and couldn’t upgrade until I hit a bag limit with it. A lot of sad rides home from the dove field.

[@ShootingMatt1]

99% I shoot 12ga but when at tournaments in Thailand we mostly got also side challenges, a 25 sporting layout with 3 pegs for side by side etc… I enjoy 28ga and 410 a lot as well every time.

[@onmilo]

American who has had a .410 around in some form or another for 40 odd years. Used mainly for squirrels, venomous snakes, and pest critters tearing up the outbuildings. As for shooting flying. I'll stay with the 20s and 12 gauges.

[@308dad8]

You know there are inexpensive semiauto 410 guns. You are correct we grow up hunting with them. I love them, they’re time machines that take you back to childhood for a brief moment.

[@chrishill1286]

3" Fiochi #8 shot. out of a recently inherited old Savage .410 pump and I had a blast this trap league. My best was 21 this season, don't shoot other than this spring league for fun. You receive accolades for shooting the .410 and breaking clays. I figure you're either on or you ain't the gage matters little. But I love this little pump!

[@jafojafo5412]

The ammo cost of 410 is worse than 12 gauge. It’s absolutely crazy …😊

[@SgtDuster]

Man, if I remember my younger years well, you have a very expensive addiction... .410 shells were really expensive when I was younger, duck hunting with my older brother. So much that it justified buying a 12g the second year. Kept the little single shot .410 for hare hunting because it was so fun and easy to shoot but quickly preferred the accuracy needed by a .22 and the inexpensive plinking pleasure.

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

I own two 410’s. An 870 wingmaster and a Beretta 686. I don’t care for the gauge. I feel all fuzzy inside with my 28 gauges instead.

[@eduffy4937]

I'll GLADLY buy the 870 off of you if you want to free up a space in the safe...😊

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

@@eduffy4937 😂 I hear ya, but I’ve only sold ONE single gun in my life and swore to myself that I’d NEVER sell another gun again. I only buy guns. They’re all going to my two “clones” once I cross over into the afterlife with Jesus.

[@robertlewis8295]

My .410 is a No. 1 mk 3 Enfield converted to a single shot shotgun in India. Rechambered to 3" .410 by the importer. Need to get another .410 repeater after my oldest daughter moved out and took the old Stevens bolt action repeater with her.

[@tracynorman3563]

28 is as good as it gets

[@frederickjeremy]

Ive heard a saying here in america many times and i believe it to have a lot of truth to it. There are two kinds of people that shoot 410, beginners, and experts. I have never ran enough 410 shells through me gins to get good at busting clays, not that i don’t absolutely love the 410, but they are scarce and expensive when you do find them. I wish they would gain more popularity like the 12 ga, because if the manufacturers could sell enough to dedicate an assembly line to them constantly as they do with 12, i cant help but feel 410 should be less expensive. Its less powder, less shot, less wad, less hull… it should just be less. So i get beat by my beloved maverick 88 and grandpa’s ward and western 12 ga for our semi somewhat annual trap shooting spectacular when we have one.

[@markw999]

Fantastic for grouse. Taken dozens myself. Works great for Turkey as well, contrary to popular opinion. Wingshooting? Gonna be tough, at least for me.

[@chrishamm3106]

I had a ruger 410 semi when I lived in Texas loved dove hunting with my retrievers
