Just picked up a New Remington 870 sportsman in .410 to finish my Gauge slam, Any Idea on Ammo anybody sell custom ammo etc etc.

We can't turkey hunt with a 410 in Arkansas.  They have to be a 20 gauge or larger.

If you reload, you need to contact .

I think it would be awesome to kill a bird with a 410! Would definitely be an accomplishment.

Yea I would def contact  and go the TSS route. Unless you keep your shots within 13 yards. Sounds like fun though. Kinda like throwing a #22 dry fly for a 4 pound brown trout. Good luck

Check out a book written by Kenny Morgan called=one man game. This gentleman and great call maker has dropped the hammer on many a gobbler with the.410.

I had the pleasure of shooting a nice Rio longbeard down in Texas with a Thompson Center Contender .410 guage handgun. I patterened a number of shells and did not feel comfortable with a shot over 15 yards. Called the old boy into 12 yards and put him down ... what a rush.

All I could fing in the AGFC site was 10 gauge or smaller, and nothing larger than #2, but sounds like a good rule here in AR.

Keep us posted on your results. I think that would be a rush to bag ol Tom with a .410.

[schuylkillspur]

Thanks everyone for the info. I'll keep the OG board up to date with patterns and Harvest info. Thanks again and God Bless.

I Would not go under a 20 gA WHETHER ITS LEGAL OR NOT.

There is nothing wrong about using the .410 gauge . A fellow who has now passed away carried a .410 pump with  lead shot and when he called one
within range it always looked just as dead  in the back of the truck as any other.
One thing though. He enjoyed the show and frequently called in birds that did not strut or gobble so they did not get shot. Lots of them never got close enough to shoot no matter how much gobbling or strutting they did.
One does severely limit his distance and needs extra restraint when using this shell.
If CHALLENGE is your middle name I applaud you for this shall be one.

I would like to thank everyone for there replies and Comments, I totally agree with RAJ. The challange of the Gauge slam is to take a wild Turkey with all the major gauges which requires you to get closer to your quary as the gauges get smaller.
