I have owned my Henry Steel side gate 410 nearly 2 years and finally high quality slugs are now available it seems. I was able to pick up a couple hundred Brenneke close encounter slugs and achieved some great results in my opinion.
I was able to dial in a very tight group at 40 yards open sights into the bull’s-eye. I shot 5 slugs and 4 of the 5 right inside the bull’s-eye with just one outside to the upper left. I believe these are excellent results considering it’s just a 20 inch smoothbore barrel.
This has now become my go to firearm and what I consider a perfect Woodsmans gun. It’s very versatile with a 6 round capacity that’s great for survival/hunting and defense. It’s certainly accurate and powerful enough with the slugs to take a deer or blackbear within 50yds..( if I lived in grizzly country, a 12 gauge would be my companion of choice ) This Henry 410 Favors number 6 shot for poppin’ clays. The Hornady triple defense has no problem knocking over medium size logs 25 yards out.
Hopefully this information will be useful for anyone else who has a 410 looking for quality slugs.
