I am gonna side with you johnch!!! The 410 carries very few pellets and no beginner I know could use one on waterfowl, just the most experienced guys i know and that wouldnt even be good!!!
Believe me guys, 80 is not looking for this load as a beginner. Anything but. He's after it for the same reason .410s and 28 gauges are used by hot skeet shooters or an accomplished bowhunter starts shooting a recurve. To handicap themselves and add more challenge.
Now find him a load for this .410 so we can be more evenly matched. And don't worry, if he wounds one I'll be standing by to swat it with my 3 1/2s.
