BudsGunShop.com - Federal .410 Handgun ammo in a shotgun?
-
-
Can anyone tell me whether Federal Premium .410 Handgun Ammo, 3" #4 Buckshot load will work in a Mossberg .410 Home Security shotgun? I've seen reviews that say it works fine in that gun, but I had a vendor recommend that I NOT use the handgun ammo in a shotgun. That doesn't make sense to me, but I don't know everything there is to know about it.

Hi Pete, your vendor is mistaken on this. Factory standard 410 shotgun ammunition is just that. There is no handgun specific 410 ammunition that won't work in a standard 410 shotgun. It is simply optimized with a faster burning powder for the shorter barrel and will only exit the barrel of a standard shotgun slightly slower. Federal tactical shotgun loads that are classified as "low recoil" (lower velocity) have immensely tighter patterns in smooth bore shotguns.
