[QUOTE="Joe2Kool, post: 5884515, member: 1621"] That 410 looks very similar to the one I had as a kid, circa mid 1970's At first glance, I'd be reluctant to shoot at 40 yards with that setup. I'm not a fan of counting pellets in the head and neck because 1/2 inch one way or the other greatly impacts the pellet count. I count pellets in a 10" circle, and strive for 100+. But I'm shooting Longbeard XRs in lead #6 and Hevi Blend. I've seen 40 yard targets with 300+ pellets in a 10" circle. Setup was 3" 12 ga #9 TSS. I haven't made the jump to TSS yet. Got too many of the other shells that work fine for me to just ditch them. FWIW, when shot at approximately the same velocity, at 40 yards, a #6 lead pellet is comparable to a #8 TSS. [/QUOTE]
