[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5041455, member: 13434"] Yes , I realize the 410 will not have the range or pattern circle that my 20 gauge shotguns will have. The question I look at is can you ethically kill a turkey with the 410. The answer to that question is definitely yes as the pictures above will show. To me if I get a 410 and a gobbler gets away because it's 35 yards or more and I can't shoot , it will not bother me at all I will just enjoy watching the show. Most of my shots are 30 to 35 yards by choice. The 301 T in the 410 is definitely lighter than my 20 gauge version. I don't know if I will get it or not but if so TSS #9 and 30 yards will be my limit if it patterns as good as the other guys on here. There are still people I get around that can't believe I hunt with a 20 gauge. I was at the local WMA checking in a bird 3 years ago and had an old timer I know ask me if my max range was 20 yards!
