I'm a little new to guns in general, soaking up as much knowledge as possible.
As the title states, I've recently obtained a beautiful Mossberg 500 in .410, it has a full, fixed choke, and I can not find anything stating specifically what types of ammo I can or cannot shoot through this barrel.
So far I have shot 2 1/2" & 3" shells ranging from 4 to 7 1/2 bird shot without any issues.
I am assuming that slugs are out of the question, not only that but they are hard to come by. I've seen handgun loads in 410, some being 00 buckshot and some being "tactical" defensive rounds, with discs and shot.
Are these handgun loads safe to shoot with my shotgun? With my current situation, this shotgun is the best suited for home defense out of my guns, and I would like to obtain some ammo with home defense in mind.
Thanks!
