Z is right, the older I get the more I like the .410. I had a good friend as a kid who had a bolt action 410. We had years of fun with it. I had a single shot 12 gauge so I bought a Savage four tenner that reduced the 12 gauge to .410 bore, still have it. Now I have a Remington 870 Express, Remington 1100, Mossberg 500 Bantam and a Savage both action all in .410 bore. I use the .410 for preserve birds and clays to bring back the challange. In some states it is legal to use for deer but not New York. I have shot lots of small game but nothing big with it. I have shot the slugs many times but have not shot the buckshot loads yet. Winchester makes a lever action, the 9410, it's next on my list. Everyone should have a 410 lot's of fun. Just wish the shells were cheaper. MIKE.
