Thread: 20ga or 410 for beginners?

We shot Canada's with 3"4s but we're in close...the mixed up sizes in shells helped.you fit 90#BB in the std .12ga shell so get 60 ish in .410.... Got to get in close.

ive shot them with 4,s to decoyin close but a lot more 4,s than a 410 holds.
it beggars belief that any one would let a newbee loose with a 410 on geese with whateva loads

a lot more is relative....... 3/4oz and 1 1/4 oz for arguments sake
its not twice the number of pellets and if we were to give you that twice the number of pellets and you fired at 50 yards with same choke..it would be EGGZACHARY the same as wee gun at 25 EXCEPT the .410s pellets are still going faster so carry more energy.....to even it out back to the std 36grn 12ga load..1 1/4oz we could tweek figures and limit you to say??? 40 yards and the pattern would be the same number of pellets on dinner plate ......
