School me on 410's

[Browning65]

I've been carrying the 301 in 410 for the past 4 years. Pattern master code black turkey choke, boss Tom #9's, burris ff3. It's taken several birds at 35-40 yds, never had one get away.

It's so light, easy to carry and gets the job done at 40 and in every time. I will never go back to lugging a 10 or 12 ga. around. Love my 20 gauges also and really want to get a 28 ga also.

I wasn't impressed at all with the factory choke tube. I ordered a jebs head hunter for it. We shall see, they have excellent reviews. I'm not a turkey hunter by any means, actually never killed one. Just doing this for my boy. I don't want to keep dumping money into it.

If you're using lead you're not going to be impressed with any choke tube.


The money you'll waste on tubes and lead testing ammo would have been cheaper and better spent buying a single box of apex /verdict/etc tss


I have a friend that tried to cheap out on 20 gauge ammo. He wasted about $200 on chokes and ammo and none were reliable at 40yds. Someone gave him a box of Apex and it immediately fixed his issues while using the factory choke.

The cheapest way to a good pattern is good ammo .

I'm going to break down and get a box of apex ninja rounds.

Be careful not to get the gun shooting too tight, especially with that jebs. At your son's age, I'd want a lot of wiggle room.
When my son was that age, I had him shooting a 20 gauge with a full choke and dove loads. It had a nice and wide killing pattern out to about 30 yards.

Here is the Stevens .410 with factory choke shooting Winchester Double X. My 11 year old daughter did the shooting off a tripod. I might move the red dot to the right a smidge but I need to shoot the ninjas first.
I was running a cleaning bore snake between shots as these .410s get dirty as all get out.
For non TSS out of a .410 I'm impressed but these things fall completely apart at 30 yards.

20 yards

25 yards

Definitely try the ninjas

 

[kevin mays]

I would definitely invest in tss !
You can do way better pattern wise and knockdown power.

My Steven's w factory choke

My jebs head hunter choke came in today. Took a few shots at 30 yds and it performed so much better over the factory full choke. This was with the winchester XX non tss turkey load. I'm anxious to see what tss will do.
