“That could easily require a number of shots to stop a determined dirtbag.”
With buck shot it is a common arm for deer hunting in Illinois and Ohio. Many people are quite successful with it.
I never knew that a .410 could be a good deer gun. I learned something new today. Thank you.
I'm not a deer hunter, but the ones I know here in Alabama seem to favor 12 ga. 3" Max Loads. The only buckshot I have are tactical loads for my 590.
