Hevishot, any idea on the variance between shots?

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.

That's a fact. 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.

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.

It sure does Doc! Overall length of the gun is much shorter than I thought it’d be with that barrel length. Got it for the kids but I’ll probably try to kill a turkey or 3 with it

I haven't shot mine enough to know but goodness $80 for a choke is a lot.
Would love to see an offering in the $30-45 range.

Yea I’m not giving Jebs what they want for one. 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
