I put many a dove, quail, and even ducks on the table when I was a kid with a single shot, break open .410.....not that my family was poor and struggling, but from 7 years old on until I noticed girls had definitely grown up in high school, I preferred to be in the fields and woods with a gun than in front of a TV. I learned how to stalk and hunt with that "limited range" .410. One old gentleman of my acquaintance hunts sandhill cranes with stuffer decoys and when they light in the decoys, he shoots one in the head with a .410 and lets the others shoot them as they rise.....he always gets his limit. Never sell the .410 short.
