oddball question
here vs shotgun sub-forum, since 410/45s seem to be a currently popular theme
anybody ever actually ever shoot 410 slugs ??
I just happen to have a fondness for 410s, own several, couple of singles, an O/U and a pump - wabbit guns, not Grizz guns
but I am just not into 45/410 handguns
still.. many are, it seems
I would think a 410 slug out of one of those would have some merits vs buckshot, ought to make a pretty serious mess out of a watermelon at close range, real tight "pattern" you know
but I do not recall anybody ever saying they been there, done that
for that matter, I don't ever recall shooting a slug out of any of my 410 long guns
did used to drop a 5-pack in coat pocket, hunting tree rats whilst pre-season scouting bambi
only twice ever ejected shotshells to load up slugs, but never did pull the trigger on one
once in deer woods, mebbe-pig-noise nearby
once walking back along a steep bank looking for my 17 foot canoe, and first found Mr 17 foot gator not far from
(mighty glad it was a steep bank that day, and set a new world speed record for canoe paddling after I got my rear parked back in it about 25 yards upstream)
not that I would trust 410 slug on Mr Piggie or Mr Gator, but it probably beats a skinny #6 shotshell
still have that same 5-pak of 410 slugs somewhere in ammo box, probably 20 year old stuff now
anyway... just curious
anybody here done that, handgun or long gun ?
ain't no Grizz killer for certain, but a 410 slug out of a long gun at short range ought leave a pretty serious impression on less than large dangerous game, I would suppose
would probably make a real mess out of 'ol possum
