Henry Rifle Forums

I had a 410 day yesterday. Two eastern gray squirrels and one rat.
Mossberg 500e, Federal .410 3".

My 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?

The main thing to remember is it only has the 2 1/2" chamber.
All of mine have the 3" chamber, so they'll shoot both.

Agreed, that’s my only negative on my Henry 410. Particularly right now with the very limited availability of 410 ammo.

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.

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.

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

You'd really disappointed with #4s

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.

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