She’s a shooter. Looks great.

That will do. No complaints there

[Tail Feathers]

That will definitely kill em.

So 2nd picture is factory, and last one is the Indian creek choke?
Like that one better?
Picked up one last week…not 100% sold on it yet but getting there. So far shooting factory, with mostly 7.5 leads letting my little girl get familiar.
I put one XX #5 through it today and wasn’t completely impressed…

I didn't know they offered the double X in #5s , I have seen it in 7.5. I can't imagine you could get very much of a pattern with 3/4oz of number 5s though that is also a fairly large pellet for a .410 bore. You are likely to see some bridging pellet deformation that will cause blown patterns. I would look into heavier than lead loads for the .410. you and your daughter will be happier.

My bad. I didn’t state this one was with a 20g not a 410.
20g 3” XX 5’s. It’s ok but it’s not special.

What oz payload are you shooting? Thats wicked! Just machined my own .390 choke for mine, and it does not like the 1oz load i put thorugh nor the 7/8 ive tried. Also didnt shoot the IC 385 good with either also..
