Remember many many years ago as a lad owning an old single barrel hammer folding .410 it had a very long barrel at least 30 + inches , I was given literally a bucket of 2inch ely .410 cartridges by an old farmer in our village , I shot about 30 & decided they were pretty useless , one wet afternoon I opened one & tipped the number 6 shot out & thought about loading a ball bearing in it , then looking through some draws in the shed I found a box with I presume were various fishing weights & soon found some that fitted the .410 cartridge , thinking about wadding I decided to use hot candle wax , lit a candle & poured some in followed by the spherical weight then more candle wax , found enough shot to load 30 & could wait to try them , to my surprise they worked very well but accuracy was not good using just the bead foresight , later made the addition of a rear ramp sight off of an old air rifle , sawed about 5 inches off of the barrel & fitted the bead foresight off of the same old air gun , cut down to about 26 inches then back to testing , soon hitting an old paint tin at 100yards with the ball going clean through

Fantastic video! Can’t wait to see the long distance one. Thanks again for trying out all of these .410 slugs. They are so expensive and rare it’s hard to do on your own.

Great test, appreciate the shoutout!!

Energy isn't the only consideration. There's a video of someone shooting Brenneke slugs and rifled slugs into ballistic gel. The Brennekes penetrated well and didn't expand much. The rifled slugs only penetrated about 3 inches, and the fragmented.

Incredible! I'm impressed with the accuracy from the American ammo. The Breneke slugs will be the ones to penetrate best especially at close range. The Win & Rem slugs will generally fracture at very close range and not penetrate well but at long range maybe they will do well. Never saw a long range gel test on a 410 slug but that may be a good idea

Great video Buckeye! I've shot a variety of .410 slugs our of my old H&R single shot. The Winchester 2.5" always shot the best the Brenneke shot real well but the Winchester's worked best from my 410. , ...now I cannot find much of any 410 slugs. Thanks for your video!

Thanks for the video. I have the same Stevens 301, using a cheap red dot with cylinder choke, for slugs. For me, the Brenneke wins in mine, hands down. Hitting consistent 3 shot 2.5 - 3 inch groups at 48 yards. And that is just from kneeling, no bench. I just wish I could FIND ten boxes of them.

At 50 yards this would seem to be a good option for deer. A youth or beginner would benefit from this set up and any of these slugs. Thank you.

They all are looking pretty good 👍 👌 thanks

The Rossi .410 I once owned love the Winchester standard 2 1/2 inch Slugs that were available for many years. Not certain about their weight etc! But at 80 metres those things were amazingly accurate. After finding that out I went wild boar hunting in swamps with it. Breech was relatively loose, not dangerously, id pull the trigger guard to open the breech the shell would pop out, I'd load the next and keep shooting. Got 3 in about 20 seconds with that old gun! Was great fun and proved itself very effective. I wouldn't want to stand in front of one of these at any range. Be interesting to see what damage they might do if held up at a crazy angle out to 1000 meters.

I just grabbed 10 boxes of Super x 3” slugs offline for about $6.80 a box because they’re rarely available in my area

I've always liked the brenneke's too.

I treat all ammo ( Especially 22 Long Rifle / 22 Magnum) gently. No dropping, slamming, tossing around. But then again, i'm like my ammo, Special . . .☆

Youre the 410 slug king!

Jelly of that big box of candy. Om nom nom nom

When you look at the brenneki ballistics and jell tests. Nothing else comes close.

Excellent results at 40 yards I'd say. Only USA-made ammo is capable of achieving that but unfortunately it's in short supply and a box of 5 rounds would be at least 8 bucks nowadays. I admire you in pushing the limits of the .410 slug and am looking forward to that video. Thanks and God bless.

What scope is that? Love the set up great video!

7.49 on the video. Accuracy is there !

I was REALLY impressed with the close range (7 yard) performance of .410 000 buckshot for defense against bears. The 000 buckshot at that range is still lined up in a row. Penetration is "crazy" effective even though the velocity is low.

I had some of those BPS ones as well, I hope they’re not junk. I got them because they were cheap

Havent watched it all yet, but can't beat the Winchester standard. Although I do use the Bernakes in 12 ga. For deer. Just as good.😊

Remember something people not every gun shoots the same brand slug the same find iut what slugs are most accurate in your gun

Amazing Rifle 👍🇩🇪

Try using a rifled choke tube

I also wanted to ask if you have heard of b&p .410 home guardian slugs they are 3" 5/16oz 1800 fps rated. I picked up a bunch when I just couldn't find any brennekes and was getting desperate. The are Italian made and all I can say about them is that the box is fancy looking, cause I haven't shot any yet.

I'm suprised and impressed...

What choke did you use? I have the 301 turkey version but cant shoot slugs out of it. I've looked online for what slug choke to use and found nothing.

I have not seen any on the shelves for years

I really would like to know where. Did you get the Brenneke slugs from? I can't find there anywhere around here.

Brenneke is the only shotgun Slugs I use

Can’t find the brenneke in stock for the life of me.

how did you get so much Bernneke ammo? I've lived in three different states in the last couple years and can't find on box of 12ga or 410.

I would like to know more about your scop mount.

Could you send me a link or point me in the right direction to getting the choke you are using I have the same model of shotgun as you

What’s the choke setup your using. I’m having a hard time trying to find a actual answer on what choke I should probably have in so I don’t blow my threads out

I have single shot 410. Im looking for a red /green dot tube style optic with a quick detach mount. Im not having much luck

Is that barrel rifled or is it smooth bore that's the big question there.

What kind of gun is this looks like my steven 301 410 turkey gun i got

I spoke too soon.😂😂

Oml less talking it’s like listening to my gf

Where did you get your choke. Trying to find one for my 301

How are you able to get so much 410 ammo I can’t find any

Something that amuses me is using ounce weight to refer to slugs. It's absurd. 1 ounce = 437.5 grains which everyone understands. 1/2 ounce is 218.75 grains. That's a more easily understandable metric for most firearms folks. That's a heavy .357 or a light .44, so let's go with those more easily comprehensible figures.

do you remember the part # for that choke ?

what chock are you using

Where did u get the gunsmith for the scope?

I'm pretty sure is that legal to deer hunt with a 410

what choke is that in the gun

Are you going to shoot or just talk?

$15 worth of Breneke slugs shot and you can't afford a new target for each round?

Where can I find this choke?

Most of those equal dead deer

Accuracy will be less as the barrel heats up.

I dare say that rifle is capable of much better groups than that. I stalk it up to user error.

In a survival situation one would get closer than 100yards. To ensure one doesn't waste ammunition, and the game does not get away, unable to be tracked..🤔

Do they make a 410 with rifled barrel?

Woohoo!! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 Im gonna swap red dot to LPV scope

Whose gonna go.deer hunting when they're tryimg.to.surviv?

what chock are you using
