The belief that a .410 is equal to a 12 "IF" you're a good enough shot is pure fallacy, fostered by a few who would promote themselves as being "Superior" to others. Note I am not saying this fits all users of the pipsqueak, any more than does the idea that everyone who carries a 12 is a Sloppy Meat Hunter, only interested in how much game he can stack up. Men/Women carry the gun they like, many other facts determines what type of "Sport" they are.
I have had a quite close association with two men that I would call strictly "Meat Hunters". I had more respect for both of them than I do for many "So Called" Sportsmen. Killing for food is after all actually more noble than Killing for Fun.
Personally I Killed mostly for Fun, but I never extensively killed anything I would not eat.
