Re: 410 Day
Agreed, that’s my only negative on my Henry 410. Particularly right now with the very limited availability of 410 ammo.Vaquero wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 9:39 pmThe main thing to remember is it only has the 2 1/2" chamber.fortyshooter wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 7:44 pmMy one and only 410 shooter is on the way back for a new hammer.....yes the Bond Arms derringer. Do I really need a Henry 410 shooter?
All of mine have the 3" chamber, so they'll shoot both.

Re: 410 Day
The Rossi and the Mossy. You’d have to be in the mood for arguing to fuss over which patterned better. Pretty close. Only difference that makes it not be completely even is the Rossi has XF choke and the Mossy Full. Top two are Rossi.

Re: 410 Day
Here’s why I don’t shoot larger than 7.5’s much. Don’t get a good pattern with 6’s. May just be the brand. Haven’t compared brands. Suppose it could be worse.

Re: 410 Day
Good info on the 6’s. I use them for grouse but I had better do a pattern test like you did.

Re: 410 Day
I have part of a box of 4's. If I remember right, at 20 yds, they were pretty thin. That was WW's also. When I went to 410's ten years ago, I was gonna shoot 6's like I always did with 12 gauge. The WW never patterned better than the picture above, but Remingtons patterned better. I got a box of Remingtons I need to dig out and shoot to compare. I been shooting Rio 7.5 and 8's mostly, and really like them.

Re: 410 Day
I have some Rio shells for the .410. They seem to do well when I've used them.
