Like most that have posted comments I love the 410 and has accounted for a great deal of vermin over the years at the correct range and cartridge for that range and quarry. There lies the problem with the UK heading towards lead free, finding a suitable alternative load for humane dispatch in the smaller calibres. Steel in the larger pellet sizes even in a 3" rolled crimp with a plastic wad just won't give the pattern density required for reasonable self imposed ranges at live quarry. Bismuth on the other hand ticks all the boxes apart from the price tag of £1,500-£1,700 per thousand, which sharp mounts up if you're using 3-4k per year. I've shot nothing but a 28 bore for the last 5 years for driven, walked up and vermin control reverting back to the 20 and 12 for none toxic use on duck and geese. Due to the lack of alternative lead free loads from manufacturers for small bores that will provide similar down range ballistics apart for the aforementioned bismuth I can see my small bores been moved to the back of the gun cabinet. When I contacted eley gamebore and express they all said the same when there is demand they will invest in alternatives for the smaller bores. Hopefully your and other TH-cam channels that are currently running small bore shows will drive this demand that the manufacturers need 🤞 In the meantime currently trying to put together a 19gram 4 Steel with plas wad together for the 28 bore but will be nowhere near the current 23 and 25 gram 6&5 lead fibre loads I use.
They might be cheap in the UK, but over here in the US they're expensive! I had an old Savage .410, side by side that I bought in the 80's for $400. I sold it for $950! The .410 shells cost twice as much as any other shotgun shells! You seldom see anyone here using a .410, unless they're fairly well off financially! Even a single barrel one shot .410 will set you back $140 to $200 dollars! I can buy a brand new 12 gauge single shot for less at most places!
In Russia, a 410 caliber cartridge costs 40-70 cents. I don't buy them in the store myself, I assemble them, I have a lot of components, and it costs 10-20 cents.I collect information and communicate with the owners of the 410 caliber all over the world.
That bolt action reminds me of my first shotgun, handed down from my father. A Stevens bolt action .410, but without the moderator.

I myself have not bought 410 caliber cartridges in the store for a long time, I equip them myself with a REDDING t 7
Mate had a Webley bolt action....Cost 10 shillings!! (50p) 1968-ish!! Great for `Rattin`
.410 is an amazing cartridge suppressed is ace
410 shells are rare as hens teeth....and expensive...
Here in the States, but I believe it's much more popular in Great Britain. That's a shame too, .410's are great fun.
Reload your own , cost effective in .410 , use Ramshot Enforcer powder , 👍
We get them easy in the uk, loads of shops sell them!
Easy to get, good selection of cartridges, but hellish cost per bang! UK
@@bozark1 I reload em with everything from PYRODEX to Ramshot , everything goes up the spout , even fire formed. 303 cases necked out for shot 💥
I've a falco ou sitting in the gun cupboard 😂
What about the lead ban? Are there any steel proofed.410s?
Yep 410 shells are cheap if you reload your own
