P.E. Kelley Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I do on occasion. Not too bad on a skeet field but one heck of a challenge on a 5 stand or Sporting course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I'll shoot .410 every now and then on Skeet and Sporting Clay myself. One of the area ranges has an “easier” Sporting course (in addition to their regular tournament course) and its still a humbling experience with ½ oz of shot.

Intel6 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Big fan of the 410. Used to be heavy into 410 skeet and now use it for dove when I hunt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Shot it when I use to compete in skeet pretty heavy as it's just part of the game. The 410 and doubles were what separated the men from the boys and the ones a lot of people ignored even the competition guys as they would rather practice with the 12 and 20ga and feel good about themselves then wonder why they can't perform at matches with it as chipping away with a 12ga is missing with the 410. Those who practiced and got proficient with that and doubles were what was winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hello: I like the 28 gauge better. It is a sweet gauge to shoot. I also like 3/4oz 12 gauge loads. 410 is for the rich guys and hard to reload. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hello: 28 gauge patterns great and is easy to reload on my Dillon SL900. Don't rule out 12 gauge with the 3/4 or 7/8 oz loads. They shoot very soft and will cycle my Beretta 391's. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
us820 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I shoot all 28ga and 410 for practice.They load well in a Spolar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF1680 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 They can be a lot of fun. I shoot LF and EF for sporting and Full for trap. Reloading 410 saves a ton if you are going to shoot much of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I like 28 gauge also - my Rem1100 28 gauge Sporting Clays is a blast to shoot. Wish 28 gauge shells were cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalaybuster Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I shoot .410 for skeet. It's not hard to hit just easier to miss! Shoot it like shooting 12 ga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyloks Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 i shoot 410 on 5 stand. love it . makes my 20 ga game better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggenF15 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Shooting .410 can make you better with all of the other gauges as long as the gun fits the same as your others. A weight relatively close to the other gauges is also beneficial. Lots of .410s have been cut down to kid-size and those are very difficult to shoot well...

Wish 28 gauge shells were cheaper Sub gauge reloaders pay for quickly. Because you use so much less lead shot, it is actually much less expensive to shoot than 12 guage.

Hello: That is really not true anymore with the 12 gauge 3/4oz loads using Extra-Lite powder. 12 gauge hulls are cheaper and so are the wads. It is a lot cheaper to reload 28 gauge than buy new. 12 gauge 3/4oz it is less than $4 a box for reloads. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
us820 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think I'm right at $4/28ga and $3.50/410 reloaded with claybuster wads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF1680 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm shooting sporting clays not skeet. I'm shooting 1/2oz for my 410 and 1 1/8 loads for the 12 gauge. I can buy a flat of 12 gauge for 49.99 at a shoot, as for 410 I found flats for 89.99 last year. I'm loading more 410 and less 12 gauge because 12 gauge is not worth it. A bag of shot only gets me 355 12 gauge but I'm loading almost 800 410 shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
