Let me start off by saying I'm not much of a shotgunner. I own several but don't shoot skeet or trap. That being said I've recently found theres ...something, I like about a good side by side. Just the feel I guess. Maybe the straight forward all business minimal BS look to them. I don't know.
So I was at the store the other day and I picked up a SxS .410. Light! cheap! Practical? I got to wondering about what I'd use it for and had to ask myself the question. Why get a SxS .410? Besides just wanting one I mean.
I already own a SxS in 12 and 28, a pump 12, and an O/U 28. I even have a single shot 20 and a single shot .410 so I already have ammo. But I was trying to figure out what a .410 could do that a 28 couldn't do better. I realize for a kid the lighter load would be great but I'm an adult man. Anything I wanted to hunt with the .410 I could hunt with the 28 couldn't I? And I've heard all about how great a 28 is for skeet and trap.
So why the .410? And as an incidental, whats the point of .410 buckshot? What the heck are you supposed to hunt with that?
