I once had the owner of my LGS tell me "I'll take a .410 in trade every chance I get. 410's and 243's are always a quick sale". The 243 makes sense for a number of reasons but considering what we use shotguns for I've always wondered what makes the 410 so popular? And yes I've owned one or two before and have found them to be a decent squirrel gun. And they're fun if not humbling on Clays. But it always seemed to me the 28 gauge should've been the popular one and the 410 should've faded out.
I agree on the 28 gauge, always shot them pretty good on the skeet field. I’ve heard the skeet shooters call the .410 the “idiot stick”.
