A week ago I watched a lot of videos on .410 for defensive use and one that stuck out was Paul Harrell's video and in it he took a shot at I think 7 yards and all 5 pellets basically hit into one big hole, but at 10 yards they spread out more so it wasn't just one hole. I know his shotgun had either a full or modified choke on it and I was wondering if it was cylinder bore, would that have had any affect on the pattern? .410 is different because all the pellets are lined up in a row, so to me I doubt any choke would have an effect with 000 Buck, but IDK figured I'd ask others.
Also, what kind of pattern could be expected with a cyl. bore .410 when using birdshot? I've seen others say that even with a full choke the .410 is a 25 yd max gun with shot, so with an open choke what would be the max range? 15 or 20 yards?
