RE: 410 single shot

A #4 pellet coming out of a Winchester 3'' .410 shell is traveling at 1135fps. The Remington's are the same. This is just as fast as some 20ga and 12ga turkey loads. So, pellet to pellet, the .410 would have almost the same energy as a 20ga. and a 12ga.

But there are A LOT less pellets in the .410. This is where the problem is. There is also an issue with the chokes used.

If you can get a turkey within25 yards or so, I will shoot him with my single shot .410 and probably kill him with the first shot every time.

Now with that said. I will be using my new 10ga this Spring.
