Is 410 Inhumane for Deer? Ultimate Test & Discussion
This video provides an expert-level analysis of the .410 shotgun slug's effectiveness for deer hunting, directly addressing the 'inhumane' debate. The speaker, demonstrating high authority through detailed ballistic testing, concludes that the .410 can be humane for deer at close range (under 50 yards) if the correct ammunition, specifically the Brenneke .410 slug, is utilized. The comparison with .44 Magnum highlights that while .410 slugs may have less energy than some .44 Magnum loads from short barrels, their primary limitation is penetration due to fragmentation, with the Brenneke slug being a notable exception.
