I use a .410 O/U for upland hunting and love it's light weight. If one goes to "Ballistic Products.com" and pays his dues for reloading this shotshell, he finds that it's a fairly adequate upland hunting tool. Use the right wads, the right powder and you'll be surprised how well it keeps up to the 28 Ga I like #7 shot to keep the pellet count up and find that it kills pheasants quite nicely. It also works well for younger shooters learning the "ropes".....but make no mistake about it.....it's not a Kids gun....it's a serious hunting tool.. If you get one, get a good one.....
