Patterned the .410

.....or possibly even going down to a 28 gauge.

Several of the TSS pioneers use a 28 gauge a good bit.

Thanks to southern sportsman, I got some loaded yesterday. Pics in the pattern section

Nice! What gun did you go with?

Very noteworthy how the "shot" being loaded may have become more important than the choke, and in many cases, turning a small-bore shotgun into something more effective than a big 12 gauge using lead payloads.

Having seen what I can do with a 20 ga dedicated turkey gun, I'm considered "downsizing" to either a new "featherlight" 20 ga (with only 2 3/4" chambers), or possibly even going down to a 28 gauge.

Very cool what you've done with the .410.

I don't think it's as effective as a 12 ga, but it will be lethal out to 35 yards!

Most of the time, being limited to 35 yards would be little handicap.
You'll just enjoy watching them longer, and killing them closer.

This is what I'm considering, although realistically, don't have time to mess with it this spring.
The only thing a bit disappointing is that the 28 ga is only 4 ounces lighter than the 20 ga.

But soon as I save up enough to go on a weekend quail hunt at Ames, this should do nicely. :mrgreen:

It's an old stevens single shot with an extra full choke barrel

Nice! I was going to go the single shot route but the gun I wanted sold 3 days before I went to buy it.
