The 410 ammo is the most expensive for any shotgun cal. (gauge) and the most difficult to hit anything with. Not good for kids to start with if they want to hit anything, although very little recoil. Even for very good competition shooters, the 410 can be very humbling. A lot of competition shooters that have to shoot the 410 use Briley or Kolar tube sets that are fitted for their 12 ga guns, so the weight and balance is the same for all gauges. Reloading for the 410 is also somewhat difficult and expensive due to the size and slender shape of the hulls. I too enjoy shooting the 410 once and a while in skeet or sporting clays, but if I go hunting the 410 stays home.
