My question is not on how to reload for a .410, but is it worth it?
I have an old Iver Johnson Champion on hold for a week (not sure how old it is, but it's old). It can take 3" shells. But here's the thing - I like old guns for their history, and I like to shoot them. So where would the 410 fit in? I don't hunt so that leaves that out. I shoot trap from a step-on thrower but I'm thinking that shooting trap with a 410 would be a challenge (and probably fun). Home defense? It wouldn't be the first gun I reached for.
.410 shells cost more than .12 and .20 (I have a few of each).
So, in the overall scheme of things, is that cool old gun worth having? They're asking $160 and it's in really good shape.
