A 20 ga on the other hand is cheap and easy to get ammo for and if you ever want to shoot waterfowl it will do the job just fine thank you. If you feel you need a scattergun to ground sluice your birds, you can shoot them in the head with a 20 as easy as a 410.
I haven't met a lot of people who could successfully wingshoot grouse with a 410. I know they are out there, but they must be a way better shots than average.
