[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1392283, member: 694"] What made the 12 gauge so popular is it was best at covering up poor shooting skills by throwing more pellets. After the outlawing of the market gauges of 8 or larger the 12 became the largest to comfortable carry and shoot. It doesn't matter if it is a 410 or a 10 gauge the pellets are traveling at the same FPS. The 410 and 20 gauge of today throw some of the worst patterns of all gauges due to shot string from having to stack pellets in tall columns resulting in more pellet deformation. The 410 wasn't designed as a game getter but a game player on the skeet field. The best patterning gauges are 16 and 28 due to having squared loads. As Americans we think more is better that is not always the case and causes poorer shooting results. I shot competition trap for years the best result was to shoot what the gauge was designed for . The sixteen offered the best of both worlds payload and pattern. Pattern is the name of the game in shotgun. [/QUOTE]
