If you can find some #10 try that. It will give you a higher pellet count in the center of your pattern. If not I would go #9. I don't have a 410 but have been thinking about getting one of the tristar's in bottomland. From what I've read about the guys that handload 410 in tss. They mostly use #10. And #9 with 20ga and larger guns. I do handload my own 12ga #9 TSS now.

Apex has 10 shells 9 1/2 size shot.
Here is a video of a harvest with this ammo.
Skip to 11:00 mins if you just want to see how this shell performs. Just remembering watching this the other day.

You need 8s or smaller to have enough pellets. A gun that patterns tighter can use larger pellets. Larger pellets tend to hold the pattern further. 9s will kill further than a .410 is likely to hold a pattern.

I shoot 9.5s or 10s

First year 410 user here, and I'm sold on the 9 1/2's.   I wouldn't hesitate to use 9's either based on the patterning session.

I'm using Stevens 301t in 410. Only able to get federal #9's good pattern to 40yds. I took a Tom around 20yds he went straight down. No need to even jump up to go after him. Upon skinning neck out plenty of damage didn't find one pellet.
