The Fiocchi Field Dynamics .410 Bore 3" #6 Lead load is a high-velocity upland hunting shell designed to squeeze every ounce of performance out of a sub-gauge shotgun. The major headache with traditional .410 loads is their small payload size, which often leaves patchy, thin patterns downrange that allow fast-moving small game to slip right through. Fiocchi solves this hunting bottleneck by engineering an extended 3-inch hull that crams in a heavy 11/16 oz. payload of #6 chilled lead shot, giving you the dense, forgiving pattern spread you need to boost your hit probability in the field.
The technical advantage centers on maximizing pellet count while protecting shot geometry. When standard lead shot is ignited, the force can crush the pellets flat, causing them to drift off target. Fiocchi uses hardened, chilled lead shot that maintains its round shape under intense pressure, dramatically cutting down on aerodynamic drag. Paired with a specialized one-piece hinged cushion wad that collapses to absorb the initial ignition shock, the pellets travel down the barrel completely shielded from friction, resulting in tight pattern cohesion and devastating energy transfer on target.
Pushing its heavy hunting payload at a crisp 1,140 FPS, this shell packs plenty of clean, deep-penetrating kinetic energy for small game and birds without generating punishing recoil. Fiocchi builds these rounds with a premium high-brass head that ensures a reliable chamber seal and smooth, stick-free extraction in pump, break-action, and semi-automatic platforms alike. Whether you are teaching a beginner the ropes or carrying a lightweight sub-gauge into dense brush, this 250-round bulk case delivers the repeatable downrange accuracy required for clean, ethical harvests.
Key Benefits
- Extended 3-Inch Hull: Carries a boosted 11/16 oz. payload to maximize pellet count, eliminating the patchy, thin patterns common to standard small-gauge shells.
- Hardened Chilled Lead Shot: Specially treated #6 shot resists deformation under firing pressure, keeping your downrange pattern tight and uniform.
- Hinged Cushion Wad: Internal one-piece wad compresses upon ignition to absorb shock, protecting the shot column from barrel friction and flattening.
- High-Brass Case Integrity: Premium high-brass head ensures a clean gas seal and smooth, hang-up-free extraction across all shotgun actions.
