First 410 kill very fun and rewarding. Loaded Hal's 78NM with #9.5.
30 yard kill. Flipped him on his back. 21lb 13oz gobbler.
Shot 78NM at 50 yards put 117/10.
Stevens 301, AT3 RD50 red dot, CNC 385.

Congrats on a dandy
Maybe a bit over kill if it set him backwards

yeah 7/8oz load is a bit much. LOLsoiltester wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2019, 3:51 pm Congrats on a dandy

Gobbler had 1-1/8" spur
AT3 RD50 is tough little sight. Very happy with it so far.

Congrats on an incredible bird, I try and ignore the whole .410 thing. It's a project I dont want to get involved in !
The most experienced novice Turkey hunter the good Lord ever created !

410s are earning their place in turkey killing history,and rightfully so.
Put you plans in the nail scarred hands.
Re: First 410 kill NM 78 strong!
The .410 project was fun. I'd been wanting a .410 from when I first started loading way back in 2015 lol. I'd see Hal and others post there .410 kills and think it would be too cool to kill a big ol' gobbler with a little .410 hand load.
So when the 301 came out it seemed like a good option and so far it's done well. Looking forward to hunting with it again. It's not something I'll carry every time out but will keep a tag or two for the little sub-gauge.
