winchester double x 410

[countryboy3006]

Anyone used the Winchester double x 410 ahells?  I found some 3in 7 1/2 shot the other day and was wondering about how it worked.  My daughter uses a stevens 301 410 and last year she shot Apex TSS which patterned great but man they are pricey.  I thought about getting a box of these to see if they would work.  Last year the birds she got were at 25 and 8 yards and I don't think I will have her taking any shots out further than that.

I shot doves and pheasants with them for years with a sweet little over under I have.

I thought I would try it for turkey and took it to the pattern board, I was shocked, looking at the patterns I couldn't believe I ever killed anything with it though I had shot hundreds of birds by then.

Top barrel was fixed full and 25 yards would be a stretch for turkeys!

I you are shooting sub 30yds they should work fine with a turkey choke, definitely at 8 and 25!

But even if apex were 10 dollars a shot they are well worth it.  Herters at BP has .410 TSS for a bit less money.  A friend shoots their 20ga and gets solid patterns.

 Just a IMO but if you are shooting a .410 use TSS.  The big birds deserve a clean kill.

I do a lot of pattern work before I shoot any animals/ competition. In my opinion, I couldnt use anything less than TSS in a .410. The pattern deterioration every 5 yards will turn your hair white. A slight miscalculation could end up with a wounded animal, which is unacceptable due to bad judgement. Everyone misses, but miss with enough firepower to make a clean kill.  Z

That price is a little better than what I have been seeing.  I probably will just stick with TSS and maybe give the federals a try.  Thanks

The way I see this is to shoot the best you can!!! Personally, I am not going to jeopardize a hunt because of the shell I chose. TSS has been a success for many. I don't want to run the risk of injuring/wounding  game. I just want to DO my best. I am definitely not one of those people who believe that they have to kill/kill kill to be considered "successful."
I'm not going to risk a bird over the cost of a Big Mac. I don't eat Big Macs just going off the rumors.

Shoot the TSS in the 410 ... It's not like your going to shoot a lot of them anyway...

[WildTigerTrout]

I tried them in my Mossberg Model 500 410 turkey a couple of years ago.  They did not pattern well in my gun and to be honest they were
really bad.  Standard Winchester Super X 3" #6 lead patterned much better.  I went with Federal TSS in my gun.

[Bigfootwolff]

I shot them in a Stevens 301 Turkey with the factory choke (.410).   At 20 yards they patterned really well, but at 30 yards there were quite a few voids, that would cause me not to shoot them atthat distance.  Best bet would be as a 20 yard and under option, with a 25 yard shot a possibility if the shooter misjudged the range by a few yards.  The manufacturer says 30 yards is the maximum range to shoot turkeys with this load. 

[Ihuntoldschool]

Just keep it to 30 and under the 3 inch 7.5 shot works great.
Full or XF choke.

Before I started shooting TSS I tried these when Longbeards were hard to find. Very disappointing. This was in 12g

Tss is what makes a 410 a turkey gun not vice versa.

[Flagobbler]

If you can't find or afford TSS, this will work inside of 30 yards with the stock x-full choke on the Steven's 301.

You start to wonder how anyone killed gobblers prior to onset of TSS......
