I'm thinking of taking up trap shooting again after taking a break from the sport for a few years. But this time around I'm playing with the idea of going "small bore" and buying a nice .410 with a Monte Carlo stock. I spotted a customized Winchester 42 with aftermarket wood and a Simmons rib.
The .410 has always been my favorite gun, and it might be fun to see if I can master it at the 16-yard line shooting trap. I'm not interested in any kind of competitive shooting, just something to have fun with over the weekends (using either 2-1/2" 1/2oz. shells or 3" 11/16oz. shells).
I figure if I reload my own .410 shells, I can save a ton of money and I won't get the snot kicked out of me, either.
Has anyone used a .410 for trap? Is is possible to shoot a 25 from the 16-yard line? (If it takes me 5-6 years to get that good, that's fine with me!)
