Overview of .410 Bore Ammo
.410 bore is the smallest common shotgun shell, with a bore diameter of .410 inches. Shells come in 2-1/2 and 3-inch lengths and carry 1/2 to 11/16 ounce of shot. The light recoil makes .410 popular with young and new shooters, for small game like squirrels and rabbits, for snakes and pests around the farm, and in skeet.
The .410 also runs in revolvers like the Taurus Judge and Smith & Wesson Governor, which fire both .410 shells and .45 Colt. Defensive loads built for those revolvers are a big part of the .410 market today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot .410 shells in a Taurus Judge?
Yes. The Taurus Judge and Smith & Wesson Governor are built to fire .410 shells and .45 Colt. Check your revolver's cylinder length, since some models accept only 2-1/2-inch shells while others also take 3-inch shells.
Is .410 good for home defense?
.410 has much less power than 12 or 20 gauge, but purpose-built defensive loads like Winchester PDX1 and Federal #4 buckshot can be effective at close range. Many shooters choose it for its light recoil. Pattern your load in your gun before relying on it.
Why is it called .410 bore instead of gauge?
Unlike other shotgun shells, .410 is measured by its actual bore diameter of .410 inches rather than by gauge. In gauge terms it would be about 67 gauge.
More About .410 Bore Ammo
The .410 bore dates to the late 1800s and became popular in the United States in the early 20th century with 2-1/2-inch shells, followed by the 3-inch shell in 1933. Its light weight and mild recoil made it the classic first shotgun for generations of young hunters.
.410 skeet is one of the four standard gauge classes in competitive skeet, and it is considered the most challenging because of its small shot charge. The cartridge got a second wind in the 2000s when the Taurus Judge and Smith & Wesson Governor revolvers created strong demand for .410 defensive loads.
