I killed my first deer with a .410 slug when I was 9 years old. I'm 43 now and still have that little .410.

.410 slugs are for deer sized game hunting. NO! You CAN'T shoot .45 cartridges in a .410 gun because of the choke but they do make special revolvers .45 long Colt that can shoot 3" .410 shells, but not all of them can!

Why use a slug? They are not accurate, kinda of like lobbing w/ a sling shot. If you're going to hunt rabbits or squirrels use 6 shot, deer use 00 buckshot. .410 is really not a very practical hunting gun or taget gun for that matter. Ammo is more expensive than larger shotguns and less lethal. I would give that little Rossi to kid and get a real gun. Happy Trails....

In ohio it is the smallest shotgun you can use to shoot a deer, yet many people still do. I do not own a .410, but from what I've heard they are underpowered for deer. I wouldn't use one to deer hunt because it wouldn't be any more of a challange, and only cause more suffering for the deer. To me the .410 is more of a child's gun, or something for small varmits. might make a nice cyote gun if you live around houses where a rifle would travel too far.

The 410 slug is great for close range varmits like fox ,coyote and groundhog .It is a little light for deer and Illegal for them in some states I know of .

In Ohio, you are permitted to shoot whitetail with a .410 slug.

Deer, though it's usually considers a child's gun. You do need to check what kind of choke the gun has. If it is a full choke you don't want to fire a slug through it.

I agree with mad mav. Don't shoot slugs if it is full choke, which most .410's are...
