[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 384361, member: 330"] Would like to know about chokes and loads?...Been in several family arguments about expert vs first youth gun. I shot an 870 .410 several times on a GA trap range. I think my best was an 11 and I damn near had to "aim" it. Pretty sure "fit" was an issue although that's a damn small payload. Jim Carmichel wrote an article about the .410 in the '80's. He owned two Win Mod 42s; one stamped Mod and the other Full. The choke dimensions were duplicates. He went on to say he knew skeet shooters who refused to pattern their .410s as they didn't want to "know". I once with the aforementioned .410 (no plug/WV) knocked a fox squirrel out of a tree @ 25yds with a 3in #6. In short: It was finally dispatched at near PBR with a head shot from the last round. In my recollection only seven pellets were found in the carcass. I didn't dissect the head. I'm not Jiffy, SDMF etc but I can hold my own. How is this not just a cool stunt? If it's a dog thing or shotgunner thing I'm good both ways and don't GAF: Just curious with Bud Heavy. :p [ATTACH type="full" alt="1696997228982.png"]61702[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1696997454151.png"]61704[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]61706[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
