This review of YAF and Barnaul .410 slugs highlights significant performance issues. The Barnaul ammunition exhibited light primer strikes and failure to eject in a Rossi youth model shotgun, suggesting hard primers. While the YAF slugs showed better reliability, both ammunition types demonstrated poor accuracy at 25 yards, with groups ranging from 5-6 inches for YAF and a 3-inch group for Barnaul at the same distance, making them unsuitable for longer ranges.
This video demonstrates shooting .410 slugs at 100 yards using a Rossi youth model shotgun with a modified choke and bead sights. The instructor compares the accuracy of Winchester and Remington slugs, finding Winchester to shoot high and Remington to be closer to point of aim. Despite the limitations of bead sights at this distance, multiple hits were achieved on a 16-inch steel target, with Remington slugs producing an approximate 8-inch group.
