I purchased this a few months back and can't wait to hunt with it this season. All I've done with it so far is sight it in. I've got some Apex Ninja shells on order.
It's going to be hard to surpass my Benelli M2 20 gauge, but this little guy is going to fun to hunt with.
Can't wait for the season to start.

I'd be interested in seeing what kind of patterns you get with the choke/shell combo you are using

I like mine. I been shooting jebs xfull and hand load 7/8oz #10. Patterns really good out to about 35. 40 yards is probably max with what I've tested. But it is a 410. It seems to be a good little gun.

Mine shoots pretty good with an Indian creek .380 but I have not counted numbers. Killing patterns with 9.5's at 40.

It likes my brass hull handloads better than it does my roll crimped loads or fold crimped loads.

I would try a .385 with foxtrot ammo 1 oz loads for best performance.

This is the worse shooting of all the 410's.  I purchased 5 to set up for events and programs.  Three of them have had issues and none of them will even hold par to the Stevens 301.  KICKS makes a special TSS choke that proved to be best over all with  any loads besides Federals.  The Federals did best with the Carlson TSS choke.
