They are no more a "wounder" than larger bores that are misused at ranges too long. A .410 at 40 yards is like a 20 ga. at 65. Both will cripple because pattern density is too low at those ranges. I've proven what distances I can kill cleanly with a .410. That doesn't make me an expert, it just shows that I can limit myself with regards to range.
If you've got field proven experience with .410s I'd love to read about it, Harry.
