410 TSS

[howl]

If one of you guys was really desperate, I could probably part with a .410 double for ya...

The late Kenny Morgan famously killed truckloads with a .410 double. This was all long before TSS and specialty turkey chokes. He was having problems with his shooting. He put the 12ga away and used the .410 to keep himself in line. He used the Winchester 3/4oz #7 1/2 load. After some years, he went back to a 12ga because the .410 was stolen.

The part of the story that isn't as widely told is that he would put a small cork stopper between the double triggers. The wider pattern of both barrels together was harder to miss with. I have one of the small corks he supposedly used. It came with one of his turkey calls. I'm not sure I believe anyone stalked the turkey woods with one in place.

As in Winchester 42? Have you seen what TSS does to bore and chokes?

I did some homework on that before ever pulling the trigger. The 42 is a 1959 model and the TSS loads I'm using are 13/16 #9s and have a full-length wad that will protect the barrel, also the factory "full choke" on this barrel is not as constricted a a regular full choke would be. I'm not too concerned.

I have a brand new unfired .410 single shot I'll give to someone who's kid could use it. We would have to arrange something for transfer because I hate the hassle here in Illinois for shipping.

On it's way to a member for his daughter.

Will say I am the one Dave sent the gun to.
My daughter should be at the house tonight. I havent told her shes got something new yet. Im sure she is going to be excited.

Will have to say it was super great of Dave to do this. Its nice to know there is still good people out there.
Was good chatting with you Dave and I do really appreciate the gesture.
