Has anyone here tried this ammo? Might be a good 30 yard shell for the 410.

A friend shot one last year with 410 Super X 6's. I believe it was in the 25 yard range.

The ones I was looking at is new and loaded with 3/4oz copper plated 7.5s.

I would think those would be fine 30 yards and in. The only way to tell is to pattern.

That’s epic with the double and the old box!
Very cool!

Ask silvestris.

Nobody asked silvestris. Anyhow, its a 20 yard load in standard full choke. Maybe farther if you fire two barrels at once. With a good turkey choke you may reach thirty yards.

Winchester is marketing it a load effective out to 30 yards.

I get really good patterns with the Remington 7.5 heavy field loads at 25. I think this would work good for my gun.

Not sure if it's the same as the old load or they really did use better shot. May have to check out of my .410 turkey choke. The old load patterned to 35, but I always subtract some yardage to cover estimation errors. If this does 40 out of a turkey choke, it would cover the ranges I actually kill turkeys with TSS.

I doubt most standard full choke .410s will be reliable to 30 yards with any factory lead load, but you never know until you pattern.

The new load is called double X diamond grade in 7 1/2 shot.
THEY say the hardest , most round shot. 8% antimony copper-plated.
3/4oz. 1100fps.
Along with usual hype about 20% better patterns in a 20" at 30 yards than STANDARD lead loads.
This is not a long-beard load. No solid resin.
Seems to be priced around $14- $25 bucks for 10 rounds.

And that's a great double barrel turkey pic!

It would be more convincing had they used nickel plated. I'll probably check it if I see it. Overpriced for copper plated tho.

With the rising cost of EVERYTHING these days and the current cost of .410 fodder, it’s likely about right. $25 for 10 rounds is pricey if you’re shooting squirrels but for turkeys loads...

Personally, I’ve got a ton of respect for the guys using the .410 at all. It’s just not something I’ve talked myself into just yet. Wanna kill one with the 16 ga first.

Nothing to using 410 with TSS. Mostly what I use anymore. Pattern is a little tight. And it won't cut through cover like a big gun is all.

Fully understand that aspect. But I’ve just not gotten comfortable enough to pull the trigger on doing so yet. I will eventually I hope. I mean, my girls will at least. lol
