    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.

    410 is ok but I use 10 gauge shells in my 30-06 for optimum on target energy past 30 yards
