410 Thoughts?

[charlie caller 3,654]

I have never owned one, but used them loads, I like them especially a nice sbs, although, I have always fancied a 28 bore, just something about the gauge I really like, will treat myself one day

Treated myself to a 28 this year wish I'd done it years ago absolutely smitten with it

I know I keep thinking I would love one, what is it Dan sbs o/u/ I guess if your smitten you must shoot well with it then, how does it compare, say to a twenty?

I have a synthetic Baikal single-shot .410 magnum, as they call 'em over here (means it will chamber anything up to 3" cartridges). I put a sling on it, and tend to carry it when I'm out firkling about in our small patch of woodland, "just in case".

 

It's so light, I forget I'm carrying it, most of the time. However, a No. 6 magnum load has been known to take out a coypu at 25 yards or so, so it does the necessary -- and coypus have thick, heavy skulls.

 

Haven't tried a .410 slug on a coypu yet...

My 28 bore is one of the few guns I really regret selling. A aya matador side by side. 1/2 and full choke, by christ did it hit hard for a small gun. lovely patterns with 21g no6. light as a feather, perfect for walked up grouse and partridge, and never shamed by normal pheasants. Loaned it to a mate to teach his son to shoot and he offered my a silly price after using it himself for the back end of the season. I'll never learn

Miroku o/u had it fitted and patterned I'm using boranghi 28gr 6's through 3/4 and 7/8ths chokes reckon I could easily hold my own against a 20 or 12 until they get in to the bigger charges and seriously high birds

I had a 410 and gave it away after my son grew out of it and moved on to a twenty bore now i would like a silenced 410 or twelve bore for shooting bolting rabbits near property's to lessening the noise but the cost compared to a normal gun puts me off

Great gun's go 3inch chamber.

Wouldn't be without my .410s.

 

Everything from dispatching in cage traps to vermin in one little gun that's light as a feather to carry.

 

Once you find your comfort zone with them then birds start dropping.

 

The 28 is on my list too Never owned one and I think some re-arranging is needed to get one for next season...

Makes you wonder why no one moderated the 28 bore, they have with everything else it is a superb calibre,

I would never part with my sxs .410 excellent gun for mooching around and im pretty handy with it

I literally don't use my 12.

 

Had a .410 3 shot Webley for the last 15 years. Blew the chambers on it from over use and am contemplating getting it resleeved that's how much I love it (it's not financially worth doing) whacked a 9" moderator on it 10 years ago; was good addition.

 

Just bought a second hand Parkemy .410 SxS because it took 3" cartridges over the Belgian SxS in the shop; if I hadn't got loads of 3" left I probably would have gone for the Belgian folder.

 

Folding .410's are absolutely amazing. .410's are epic.

 

Buy one. Forget the 12 and just get closer.
