    410s and turkeys

    With turkey Season a month away. I am considering using a 410 for them this year. Started with a 12 ga moved to a 20 then a 22mag. Killing them just feels like I'm cheating the bird.. anyone use a 410 for then?

      Call em in close and bust em. My daughter started by using a .410 and has shot a pile of them with it.

            Used my mossberg 500 .410 for turkeys up until 3 years ago until I built out an 870 into a dedicated turkey gun.

            Never used tss in my .410’s but I wouldn’t hesitate after using them in my 12. 3” lead #4 killed a lot of turkey for for me.

              Spend some time at the pattern board. A tight choke on a .410 up close gives you very little margin for error. Good luck and don't forget to post LDPs.

                      Bad shoulder can't draw repetitive to practice enough to be ethical. Another reason I don't like using my 12 ga anymore mag loads hurt and the gun it a heavy pita the run and gun with.

                              I killed a lot of them with a an old single shot Steven’s 410 growing up. It was my grandpas and I could shoot it at 7 yrs old but actually didn’t start using it myself till I was ten. It was hell cocking that 20 pound hammer. I watched a few walk by while I was giving it all I had to get the hammer cocked. But when I did they died.
