American Tactical .410 Bore 3 Inch 11/16 Ounce #6 Shot 1150 FPS – 25 Rounds (Box)

The American Tactical .410 shotshell is a steady seller on our shelves, and for good reason. This is honest field and range ammunition built for shooters who put in real trigger time instead of leaving boxes to gather dust. Each box holds 25 rounds of 3 inch shells carrying 11/16 ounce of #6 shot at 1150 FPS.

The .410 bore is the lightest common shotgun bore, so guns and components chambered for it are everywhere and practice stays affordable. Recoil is mild, muzzle rise is modest, and a full afternoon behind a .410 will not leave your shoulder complaining the next morning.

What the American Tactical .410 Load Is and Who It Is For

This is a general purpose small game and clay target shell. The #6 shot size sits right in the sweet spot for squirrel, rabbit, dove and pest control around the property, and it breaks clays cleanly at sensible distance.

It suits .410 pump guns, single shots, side by sides, over unders and the growing family of .410 lever guns and revolvers cut for the 3 inch shell. New shooters and smaller framed shooters get along with it especially well.

Instructors reach for a load like this because it lets a student concentrate on mount, swing and follow through without fighting recoil. Experienced hands keep it around because a .410 in the truck or the barn is one of the handiest tools on a working property.

Specifications Worth Knowing

The 3 inch hull gives this load room for its 11/16 ounce payload, which is a full charge for the .410 bore. Shorter 2.5 inch shells simply cannot carry as much shot, so a 3 inch chamber running 3 inch shells puts more pellets where you are looking.

The #6 shot size delivers a high pellet count for that payload weight. More pellets means a denser pattern, and a denser pattern means fewer gaps for a bird or a bushytail to slip through at the ranges a .410 is actually used at.

The 1150 FPS muzzle velocity is classic field speed. It is quick enough to carry useful energy downrange and gentle enough to keep chamber pressure and felt recoil reasonable, which is exactly what keeps your point of impact honest across boxes.

Twenty five rounds per box is a practical count. That is a morning of small game hunting, a round of informal clays, or a solid teaching session without ever opening a second box.

Practical Use, Care and Compatibility of American Tactical .410

Any shotgun marked for 3 inch .410 shells will run this ammunition. Never chamber a 3 inch shell in a gun cut for 2.5 inch shells, and if you shoot a .410 revolver or lever gun, confirm the model is rated for the longer hull before loading.

Storage is straightforward. Keep boxes cool, dry and off bare concrete, and shotshells stay reliable for many years. Heat cycling and humidity age ammunition far faster than the calendar ever does.

Run a patch or a bore snake through after a session with lead shot so plastic wad fouling never gets a foothold. A .410 bore is narrow, so residue shows up sooner there than it does in a 12 gauge.

Buying deeper always pays off with a bore this affordable to feed. Browse the rest of our ammunition selection and pair this shell with rimfire or centerfire practice loads in the same order, courtesy of American Tactical.

Keep a few boxes on hand and the .410 in the corner of the safe is always ready to work. American Tactical .410 is the kind of shell you shoot without thinking twice about it. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
