Patterning the 410

[Uncle Jesse]

I shot several different shells yesterday just trying to get a decent 25 yard pattern in my 410. Shells were all Remington except 1 box of Winchester AA 7.5 that I dove hunt with. Nothing all that great so, my nephew got 2 shells out of his stash. That was a Federal 3" #4 and a Winchester 3" #7.5 and both of those did better than the 5 boxes that I had.

Here's the one I settled on, the Winchester 3" #7.5 at 25 yards

Since I am shooting a double barrel, if I did reload some TSS for the other barrel then, I'd have an all purpose really light turkey gun

getting a 410 or 28 gauge in the future to do TSS with is something Im working on for sure.

That will get it done at 25 and under, thanks for sharing.

BTW, I'm using a Yildiz OU with screw in chokes. Coolest gun I've ever had. Been dove hunting with it for 2 years now. I can get Briley to custom make a choke for it but whew it's pricey

Pattern was shot with the factory full

Sumtoy would probably make a custom choke cheaper than Briley. And you will be amazed what a .410 will do with tss

Not sure if everybody knows this but since a 410 is patterned at 25 yards instead of 40 like the others, a full choke in a 410 has the same amount of constriction as an Improved Modified in a 20. In other words it's a full choke at 25 yards
