My father in law just gave me a stevens (savage) 94H .410

I was wondering if any of yall shot 410 and if you do what type of ammo do you use?

thanks

wow this forum seems kinda dead. my topic has been on here for almost a day and only 8 people have looked at it.

Like all shotgun ammo it depends. What are you going to hunt? Squirrels and rabbits..then use 4's or 6's. Doves or pigeons use 7's or 8's. Coons use 4's and expect them to come down mad. .410 is sort of light for tough animals like coons. Just don't stretch out the range or your pattern will be weak. I am guessing the choke on this is Full so that helps some. Sounds like a nice shotgun for you and that it was a family piece makes it even better. Probably everyone is jealous, that's why no replies. LOL If you get bored with it just ship it to me.

depends what u huntn

well mostly coons and squirels. and i do want them coons to come down mad.

if it is a full choked gun then 3" #4's should kill the coon with good head shots. squirrels #6's should be best with 3" shells and they will also kill coons but must be closer.

its just an old savage single shot that was given to me by my father in law. i just think its an open cylinder gun?? not real sure. and ill shoot 3 inch shells

Id be willing to bet its a full choke

i would say it is every old .410 ive ever seen has been full choke with the exception of a double i saw which had a full and a modified barrel.

i got a mossberg 410 my dad got 4 me new about 9 years ago and it has really been a good gun have never had a problem out of it. i shoot differnt kinds of ammo out of mine depends on what im going 4

I use my 410 sometimes for squirrels. when i use it i shoot 3 inch Remingtons in number 4 shot. Never really used one for coon hunting.

fedral 3inch
