Ya'll are killing me! The rain let up, so I went exploring the storage building for a box of books. It was in Peter Johnson's book. He states that Major Charles Askins, remarked in his book, Modern Shotguns and Loads that, while he understood the appeal the .410 gauge had for women and young people, he personally regarded it as of little value for practical shotgun shooting and that whenever he saw a full-grown man carrying one into the woods for serious hunting, he always had the feeling that nature had made a mistake in the man's sex.
Well, that's just one man's opinion. I don't actually agree with it, I just think its funny as hell.
