To buy a .410 or not to buy a .410

Sage advice skwerl but I think the thread is only 11 years old so I'll put in my 2 cents worth!

I always had a love/hate relationship with 410's.
Sometimes I like the challenge using the 410 for sporting clays but I find that if there are a lot of targets that are beyond 25 yards or so then it just doesn't get enough lead out there, the 28 is a significant jump up in effectiveness. I leave the IM and F chokes in my over and under 410 because anything more open just doesn't get enough pellets on the target.

Got the correction , thnkz.

I've not shot a 28 ga but after watching some utube me thinkz
it would be a phantastik gun.
 
Bob Brister’s book ‘The art and science of shotgun shooting’ had an entire chapter on the magic of 28g shotguns. I respected anything and everything he wrote about shotguns and that started me (happily) on the quest of 28g toys. Probably a dozen or so by now and no regrets. Yes it was an old thread but we all chimed in, obviously the 28g is still highly revered.

I bought one a few years ago. 22 mag/410 Handiest darn thing around the acreage. I’ve used it for gophers, skunks, a badger, grouse, magpies and one coyote that got a bit to brave.
And I found some 22mag shot shells a while ago that seem to work good for pigeons in the quonset too. Haha
