Some interesting take away lessons.
So in 6 months he missed his wife every time?
This is good info for all shotgunners. It kind of puts some myths to rest,at,least,as far as Federal Ammo goes,but,we must bear in mind that different brands pattern with various results.
Good article.
Guess so....glad that was your takeaway...Quote:

I going to assume that on the .410 test he was using 2-3/4" shells....he should have tried 3"...he maybe would have been even more surprised....also, would have loved for him to pattern a 28ga and a 16ga:sad:

After all, if you're going to go with 3" shells in a .410, you might as well get a gun that will last the kid into adulthood and but the 20g, and shoot 2 3/4" through it.
Ya, I understood the premise and I made the comment in respect to the "tounge and cheek" quote at the top of the test....a remark we have all heard before.....the test proved that the .410 is a "useable" and effective gauge for Upland and I just wanted to make some aware that it works even better with 3" on certain game.
"The .410 is a ballistic disgrace, and a crippler of gamebirds. Just ask me and all the other gun writers who have repeated that “fact” over the years. I believe beginning hunters should shoot a 20-gauge, not a .410, despite the higher recoil and extra weight of the 20. A comparison between the two, I was sure, would dramatically show the 20’s superiority."
Roger that.
I read this with a Bill Shatner accent lolQuote:

Aye,but,I canna get any more out of 'er,Cap'n. LOLQuote:
