Interesting. Didn't even know this was an issue. I use 20 gauge.
Not sure what "market" this addresses. |

It's for expert shooters who can actually hit something. The 410 has probably driven more kids out of shotgun shooting than anything else. I'm the only 20 gauge turkey hunter I know. I've never heard of anyone wanting a smaller gauge for toms. |

In my youth I grew up with my grandpa's 410 only. I got very good at hitting what I was aiming at. I find it interesting that those that can't do always assume that everyone else can't do it either.... |

And the new whizbang, $7 per round tungsten turkey loads that improve the performance of the smaller guns. Not saying you should be locked into those loads, but like any other gun modern ammo really helps. |

My first gun age 3 was a .410 Winchester single shot. When I was 5 or 6 my grandfather would give me one .410 shell and send me into the woods behind the house with the promise that if I brought a dove or squirrel back I would get another shell . What I brought back was lunch. With a .410 the turkeys head is the target and if you have a full choke 25 yds or closer with 7. 1/2 is fine.
