You most certainly do get 3" .410 rounds, often referd to as .410 magnum. I had a few that i got with the little rifle but cannot remember off hand who made them.
410 effective range?

Mokwepa: get several sheets of cardboard at least 30 inches wide set them up at various distances and examine your patterns with what ever load you plan to use. I would talk to other hunters that use shotguns for advice. thing to remember is that a sngle #6 shot pellet from either a .410 or 10 ga assuming the velocities are the same kill about the same. The more shot pellets that you have, the better your chances of hitting a bird with multiple hits thusly insuring a kill. If your finances and legal circumstances allow, use a 12 bore. But if you get close you can kill a lot with your .410 and part of being a good hunter is being able to stalk and get close. Good luck.

"They never made any in 3" as far as I know."
They're talking about the Model 9410 lever gun.

I'm curious about the .303 brass being used for .410 shotgun shells. Where do you find load recipes for something like that?
I know this is an older thread, but it's interesting none the less.

Do Your homework
Get some large pieces of cardboard and fire your load at the distances you plan to hunt and see what the pattern is. Most 2 1/2 inch 410 shells even with a full choke, is at best a 25 yard gun on that type of fowl. You only have about .5 ounces of # 4 shot, which is very skimpy.

I was thinking 25 yards tops. None of my old 410's were much after that. Every now and then Id get lucky, but not too often.

They will shoot further than you think
I have a 16 ga that I use Savage four tenner tubes in that I patterned a 38 yds that patterned 52% in barrel #1 and 48% in barrel 32 with #6 shot, Remington, Peters 3 inch shells. The pattern from #2 barrel was thin with a hole that would allow a dove to be missed. A number six shot will travel 235 feet from a gun elevated to 30 degrees. My gun effective range would be a bout 30 yards.
I want to know more more about expanded 303 rounds to load 410 rounds.
