410 for Deer??

[Rebel_Rider1969]

This is from last year, I'd probably have lost my temper had I caught them. Buckshot. Im guessing the headless one was +8 pt. Assholes. Found on Truck trail 17, brady rd.

Bunches and probably loads of wounded deer that died slowly.

Not if shot properly in the head.

Use the 3" 3/4 oz loaded .410 shell as a cut shell.
Below are 12 gauge that have been cut. They are accurate to at least 10 yards.

Wondering if it's got enough BANG? Slugs look tiny..

Placed behind the ear does the trick. Like a .41 mag up close!

If it had been a Natural Ice can I would say it was crackheads At crime scenes we used to profile the suspect pool by the brands of beer cans in and around the scene

A smart criminal 'crackhead' would find out what his competition drinks and scatter those around crime scenes lol.
Maybe crackheads are not smart criminals lol.

On an unrelated note , does anyone know how long it would take for a newer model ford pickup to overheat with 2 or 3 seventeen caliber holes in the radiator?

I wouldn’t even think about or consider using a 410 for deer, it could be done I’m sure but to be more ethical in taking a deer I’d use no less than a 20 gauge. I’ve killed deer with 16, 12 and 10 gauge but never used a 20 ga or 410 on a deer. One of my grandmothers used to go with Grandaddy back in the 1960’s when they dog hunted, I remember Granny killing deer with her 20 ga single shot. I have a scoped Rem 870 that I enjoy taking deer with 12 ga slugs, haven’t carried a 10 ga in a long time due to ammo difficult to find, own two 10 ga shotguns

"410 slug weighs about 87.5 grains, starts with a muzzle velocity of 1815 fps, and generates 640 ft. lbs. of muzzle energy." I don't think it's a good idea...

At very close ranges it is enough to kill small deer if the accuracy is there. Not my choice for sure, but if I was hungry and I had nothing else....

With modern ammo absolutely. I load a 12 pellet TSS “T” shot that’s devastating with pass thru at 50yards. Also do a 10 “F” and 23 “T” for 33 pellets in a 20ga. It has flipped them at 75 yards running dogs. Probably won’t carry a 12 anymore. No need in toting a boat anchor or shoulder abuse. TSS is a game changer

Seems like you would get a lot more meat and hide destruction with a shot gun kill.
