Don’t do that Buzz.

Anything inside 25 yards you should use nines.

Best pattern density, smokes targets, (so that your confidence is high), and carries enough energy that if you have to delay, it will still create a chip.
I don’t know how you analyze a station you have never seen before, but I tend to:

Close or far? Fast or slow? Incoming outgoing? Shallow angle, wide angle? Edge or face?

Usually if I go through that while waiting my turn, what cartridges to use becomes pretty clear.

I would definitely use nines on all of the close ones.


Out there doing it best I can.

Check patterns w/current chokes and shoot it some before deciding about screw chokes.

Mayes had 200 registered NSSA 100 straights in .410. He used 12 thou, which is just over mod per Briley.

What Hal said - pattern before deciding. Love setting .410 courses, but it is indeed difficult to get sufficient registered entrants at a small venue. So we designate some mid-week 5-stand sets as .410-friendly.

Like 10 to 14 thou for SC, and that'll crush 35 yd dome-off stds and battues. On a course maybe carry a handful of #7.5 for the occasional rabbit pushing .410 distance.

Some .410 setters appear not to have ever patterned a .410, resulting in presentation/distances that allow luck to enter the equation. #8.5s are popular, but I've never been able to convince myself they work better than #9s.
