410 noise vs 20 gauge noise

As for the lead... I wouldn't worry a bit about a few pounds in the water... A couple parts per million may work off but once it oxidizes, it will be pretty much "inert" to the fish and frogs...

If lead were bad for ponds, split shot weights would be made of something else...

And if a few stupid individual fish or frogs think it is food and eats the pellets... so be it... Natural process of elimination of the weak or stupid from the gene pool is a good thing...

Brent, I ran the numbers a while ago on the .410-bore vs. 12-ga. Let's have a look 20-ga vs .410-bore pricing with Win Double-A target loads (they are pretty much the same other than gauge).
  • .410-bore, 1/2-oz #8s, $10.99/box of 25: 10.99/(.5x25) = $0.88/ounce
  • 20-gauge, 7/8-oz #8s, $8.99/box of 25: 8.99/(.875x250) = $0.41/ounce
The .410 is 2.12 (88/41) times more expensive per ounce than the 20!
What a rip-off, when you consider the .410 is the cheapest shot shell to reload.
