Shot for forest grouse?

Picking up a new single shot .410 for rabbits, hare, etc..
My sled, squirrel, rabbit snowshoe hare dog has decided he wants to be a bird dog as well.

What shot recommendations do you all have for the .410?

It's a H&R Pardner single shot with a full choke.

I second the #6, I use 3 inch shells. Only a couple more weeks until grouse opens here in Idaho, my lab and I can't wait.

Sept. 1st. My sled dog, Wilson, can't wait either and he doesn't even know it.

I agree. You could even go smaller then that if you wanted to. Grouse are pretty wimpy birds but are damn good eating!! There my favorites.

Got that straight Mr. Shultz!:D
Every Sunday before heading back home we eat the fruits of our labor, and I make a mean "Spagetti ala Eddy".
Take a trip with Magic and GregH for some Bear / Deer / and Grouse hunting you'll never forget.
