RE: Do they make .410 turkey shells?

Back when I used a .410 (geez, it's been over a decade...) I had some 3" heavy game loads in #4. I was deadly on paper out to 20 yards, but never got a chance at a bird. I doubt there's a...

RE: thinking about it

I don't own a semi-auto and am not too familiar with them, so take what I say with a grain of salt. It just seems that you're limiting yourself if it can only shoot 3". JMHO.
