I’ve never posted in the shotgun section before but stumbled across this puzzler, at least it puzzles me.
Why do they load 410 slugs with a projectile that weighs a mere 0.2 ounces? I see they give it more velocity (1875 FPS) but if they had duplicated the heavy 3 inch shot load of .7 ounce (300 grains) at 1135 FPS then it would be as useful as a 44 mag. Could they have intended it to be used for something much different than the bigger slugs?
Just wondering because it would seem to have potential as a good deer load in the shotgun only areas.
