Hello all,
I'm not terrible familiar with shotguns but inherited an old bolt-action .410. I haven't shot it since I was a kid and then only plinking at bottles and clays and such with birdshot.
My question is: can you use some of the Russian .410-70 slugs in a bolt-action? I was told the '70' refers to the length of the casing in mm which comes close to 3 inches and my shotgun takes 3-inchers. Should they work? Anyone tried them and care to report?
P.S.: I'm not planning to hold off the Chinese army with my .410, just a little plinking. I am mostly interested in finding out if they're safe to use before I hit the range and try some for myself to test accuracy.
Thanks and regards,
Apple
