It works well especially the one with slightly higher sides. I am always spilling shot it seems but don't lose a pellet now.

When did you get a 16ga? I haven't been out due to deer hunting and dislocating my shoulder. I feel I'm behind I need a new bang stick immediately.
When researching for pictures of my late mother to use at her memorial service, I found a picture of her standing with a partridge in one hand and a single shot shotgun in the other. The forend was missing on the shotgun. She was a young teenager. At the time (the 20's) they had a small beef ranch in norther BC and ate what they grew and shot.
A year later we found that same gun in the family basement. It is an Ivor Johnson (made in Canada) in 410. It is still a good partridge gun. And never for sale.

I thought you would get a laugh out of this. Helping mama make the cabbage rolls for xmas today and cutting the leaves off the cabbage as they came off the heads boiling on the stove. I said what do you want me to do with these leaves, grab one of my cookie sheets out of the cupboard she says and stack them on it. I went and grabbed one of the sheets and when I seen this busted a gut laughing. What is so funny she said look, yes she says take another for your dam reloading and it will be your last. LOL

Ive got a Cooey in .410, and to be honest I really only use it for nostalgic purposes.
In my very unscientific test I placed clay pigeons starting at 10m at 1m intervals to determine what I figured would be acceptable range on grouse. I figured if it could consistenty break a caly that would be enough for grouse. 15m. Thats it. With a full choke.
I wont ever get rid of it, because, lets face it, a lot of hunting is purely nostalgia anyways, lol, but I think a 20g is a much better all around small game gun. A Cooey 84 in 20g will likely be my next shotgun purchase, actualy.

LOL! Now there's a wife who really knows her husband and his hobby!
You're a lucky man Joe.
Sure am that is why we are together almost 35 years. It never started like that she hated guns and took me 10 years to have them in the house after we were married.
Two xmas's ago she bought me a 410 wingmaster all on her own, last year a new rockchucker kit and is paying for 1/2 of the new AL48 28ga semi I have on order with Clay for this xmas.
She is a keeper for sure
Today is gum drop and fruit cake day, fingers are killing me from cutting those dam sticky gum drops.
LOL take care

You've got that right!
What I find about the 410 is many think it is the ideal shotgun gun to start a youngster with so anything that can be picked up for a few hundred bucks goes very quickly. It is really not hard to find a 410 if you are looking to put out a grand or better but not too many of us have that to put of for a gun that is going to get quite a going over if the young person likes to shoot it.Just my 2 cents

want a neat .410? i have one in the EES ...a bolt action c/w adjustable choke. Great for taking out magpies.
410 in your heading on the EE and it would be gone I bet. Had a hard time finding it with out your handle. Cool little gun for someone for sure
My .410, Browning Superposed. Choked Skt & Skt, great fun on the skeet field. I don't think I would hunt with those chokes in a .410.
I haven't patterened it to see if it would be suitable in the grouse woods as I have a couple of 20 ga. guns including a Super that work just fine.

I highly recommend the Yildiz TK-36 , great little very light 410 for the money , only plastic part is the butt plate .. My go to grouse gun . $200 well spent.
