the 410 will kill as effeciently as a 12 or 20 if the man pulling the trigger is any good, theres no velocity difference and the shot patten is tighter than most other calibres, i used a 410 for pigeon shooting one season and it was simple if you were on them they folded if you wernt you wernt, there were very few pricked birds for the dogs to retrieve unlike other larger calibres

A moderated 410 definitely has it's uses,it opens up areas were you cannot shoot because of the noise problems or were want to be more stealthy.Also it used correctly ie: the right amo to suet distance and quarry they do less damage to the meat and tend not spook nearby quarry as much.My advice would be to get a 12 gauge for first gun then look at a 410 later on if you have a need for what I have said,I have Baikal Hushpower fantastic little gun got its place in my cabinet forever.

Just to add all shotguns have the same killing distance but it's the shot size and the pattern that kills cleanly.
