grouse with the 45/70

[Deerwhacker]

Heres a pic my dad got of the grouse he got on his bear hunting trip , does anyone else use 410 guage shotgun shells out of there 45/70 for grouse?? my dad says they fire pretty decently.

[pupper]

wow that works?? does it hurt the rifling at all to fire .410 shells through it?
pretty neat if it is harmless to the rifle

a more seasoned gun nut may correct me on this but i believe the only down fall is more frequent cleaning due to lead fouling.

I deheaded one with a rock yesterday, guns are to easy!

I have heard of shooting .410 shells with a 45-70 but always wondered about how well it works. I can’t imagine the rifled barrel creating a great shot pattern. Do the .410 shells eject OK?
