Default RE: Do they make .410 turkey shells?

I took my first turkey with a .410, shooting 3 inch heavy loads with #4s, the shot was only 15 yards, I wouldnt recommend it, but it will do the job if it shoots a good pattern, and the shot is 20 yards or less. As far as recoil, my son is really young and also small, he is 5 and is about 46 inches tall and weighs 45 lbs, and he is shooting a Remington 1100 youth model 20 gauge, the recoil isnt a problem for him, mostly the length of the gun, I let him do lots of practice shooting with light loads, and very little magnum shooting, and he killed his first bird Saturday morning.
