I learned my gun is a lot more picky than any 12 or 20 I own. You keep piddling with .410's, different loads, different guns....and you'll learn that ALL .410's are picky compared to a 20 or 12. Finnicky as hell! Not using buffer in your loads (that was a Hal suggestion) is about the best thing you can do to make a .410 more consistent shot to shot.

I had about given up on the 410 game before I bought the 301T. I had gotten pretty aggravated with the 2 or 3 other guns I had tried.

Hevishot, any idea on the variance between shots? Idk. I finally was able to get it to shoot ok, but I think it can do better. It may have been the choke or the particular recipe I was using

If you get one that shoots decent, don’t pay attention to numbers in the 10” as much as the pattern density without “holes” in it. I have played with 4 or 5 of the 410’s and each one likes something a lil different. I currently have an o/u I am setting up for my daughter. I had a 127 in 10” pattern with 9’s, but to be honest it shot a 107 with 9.5’s that looks more consistent.

Barrett you need to call and make sure they have a current address for your commission check.
You aint kidding. Their #1 sales rep didn't even get a bag of popcorn. I'm chopped liver.

I dont see how Jebs or anybody else for that matter could improve a whole lot on the factory choke. I was shocked when I shot mine how well it patterned straight out of the box Its good but could be better.

Would love to see an offering in the $30-45 range.

The guy at jebs told me they used the same amount of material on the .410 chokes as they do the 12 gauge chokes. I said “you must have a big scrap department.” He didn’t like that lol
