I've used the. 410 on game farm birds, and doves, but beyond that I go to the bigger bores.20, 16, or 12.
The. 410 will get it done out to 25 yds or so, but we owe it to our quarry to use the appropriate gun/load for the job.
That said, if you have the finances, and some shooting skills, the. 410 is a seriously fun little gun.

Thanks, David. It started out as a pawn shop acquisition, and morphed into a project.
I wrote about it a while back, here;

.410's are a blast at skeet and in skilled hands, with appropriate chokes, they work fine for Quail, Dove, Woodcock and Ruffed Grouse. Watch a .410 event at Skeet and you'll see a lot of "Smoke" as the targets are hit. At those close distances the .410 is plenty of gun for the birds mentioned above. Beyond 30 yards, not so much!

Default 410

I grew-up on a farm in central Illinois and the Savage 24 with .22 over 410 was the perfect squirrel and rabbit gun. Killed the animal and left plenty of meat for the dinner table. On the farm if you needed to kill skunk, raccoon, snake etc.. in those days the 410 was cost effective and a lower risk to injure livestock. Today I rarely put the 410 tubes in my Superposed and shoot skeet as I really enjoy shooting the .28 gauge. But when I visit family in Illinois and squirrel hunt it seems like the Savage 24 always comes out of the vault.

I have killed many Pheasants with a 410 ,used Browning o/u, Win 42, Rizzini o/u and a LC Smith. It's really fun to shoot skeet with one. When it comes to wild birds I"ll use one on Woodcock but not Grouse. A Parker is on my wish list but we all know what they go for, so it will most likely stay on a wish list.

Mine's far from a Parker, but it's a hoot to shoot nonetheless! Targets only for me, however; no wild birds...
