New to the .410. Stevens 301 with a Burris Fast Fire II. Shooting a few different loads with factory and Carlson's TSS chokes. I believe both are .385 constriction. I believe they all will hunt lol.

Let me know your thoughts.

Welcome. I love my 301 it feels like I'm carrying around a BB gun. With those chokes and a few different loads you should be able to get a pattern your happy with. Mine shot well with the stock choke with federals and apex ninjas. I put in a indian creek. 390 and that really improved the ninjas.

I picked up some verdict shells the weekend so I'll be giving those a try. I think for now I'll be using the vipers with factory choke or the hand loads from a local guy. Excited to get out there this spring.
