[rockyfackler]

Need some help on shell and shot sizes.my son is 8 and this year Kentucky is letting you use
410.I know 20 yds is max,what would be a good shell and shot to use out 4,5 or 6 shot.thanks for
Time and help.

#6's to get maximum # of pellets and like you said definitely keep it under 20 yards. Most of all good luck to the young guy!

If you're keeping it under 20 yards I wouldnt be afraid to try 7 1/2s.

That is the route I would go as well...  I sure would not go any bigger than #6's

My son got a nice Osceola three weeks ago with Heavy shot #7 3 inch 410. They did the trick.

I kill a lot of stuff with .410 3" #5's. Never tried it on turkeys though. Hevi shot sounds like the way to go.

I'd personally go #4 no way I'd go less than #5. But that's me. Took my boy out a couple weeks ago with #4

 Another vote for the heavy 13 #7. Seen my kids kill quite a few birds with this load. They use 20 ga I would assume they have em in .410.

Hevi shot #7 would be my choice and you are right, keep the shots close.

20 ga..........not that much more kick...............

Not many #4s in a .410 shell.think it would be very difficult to get good pattern coverage at any range

[pdaugherty]

I'd definately go with the HEVI-Shot. #7s will hit like 5 lead so you'll have plenty of knock down and more pellets.
