The Fiocchi Field Dynamics .410 Bore 3" #9 Lead load is a specialized, high-density sub-gauge shell designed to extract peak performance from a lightweight shotgun. The main frustration when shooting a .410 at small, fast-moving targets is dealing with a thin, patchy pattern that lets targets slip through unharmed. Fiocchi eliminates this performance bottleneck by packing an extended 3-inch hull with a generous 11/16 oz. payload of fine #9 chilled lead shot. This combination floods the air with a massive wall of pellets, dramatically boosting your hit probability on the range or around the property.
The technical advantage focuses on maintaining strict pattern uniformity and pellet roundness. Because fine #9 shot is so small, standard lead pellets can easily crush and deform under the sudden pressure of ignition, causing them to fly wildly off-target. Fiocchi solves this by using hardened, chilled lead shot that holds its spherical shape under intense chamber pressures. Supported by a premium one-piece cushion wad that absorbs initial ignition shock and shields the shot from barrel friction, the pellets exit the muzzle perfectly round, producing a highly predictable, ultra-dense pattern downrange.
Slinging its dense payload at a crisp 1,140 FPS, this shell provides plenty of breaking power for clay targets and immediate authority for close-range pest control without generating harsh, punishing recoil. The high-brass construction guarantees an exceptionally clean chamber seal and smooth, stick-free extraction, whether you are shooting a classic break-action, a handy pump, or a semi-automatic shotgun. This 250-round bulk case ensures that every trigger pull delivers uniform pattern distribution, minimal barrel fouling, and reliable, shot-to-shot consistency.
Key Benefits
- Extended 3-Inch Hull: Packs a boosted 11/16 oz. payload to maximize total pellet count, eliminating the sparse, gappy patterns typical of small-gauge shells.
- Hardened #9 Chilled Lead: Hardened fine shot resists flattening under intense ignition pressure, maintaining an aerodynamic shape for highly uniform downrange spread.
- Shock-Absorbing Cushion Wad: Built with a one-piece internal wad that collapses to cushion the shot column, cutting down on bore friction and pellet deformation.
- High-Brass Hull Construction: Premium high-brass base prevents hull swelling and ensures smooth, hang-up-free chambering and extraction across all shotgun actions.
