The Nobel Sport Hunting .410 Bore 2.5-inch 1/2 oz #6 Lead Shot 25-round box is a specialized sub-gauge shotshell engineered specifically for small game hunting, upland bird management, squirrel and rabbit pursuit, and pest control. A primary performance constraint when shooting .410 platforms is thin, patchy pattern coverage and stringing caused by pellet deformation under ignition setback. Nobel Sport overcomes these sub-gauge patterning limitations through high-antimony hardened lead shot and a dedicated shot-container wad, preserving pellet roundness for tight, uniform patterns at short-to-mid-range field distances.
The core technical advantage relies on Nobel Sport's internal shot column design. By utilizing high-antimony lead alloy, the #6 shot pellets gain superior hardness, allowing them to resist flattening as they accelerate through the force of setback and choke constriction. A high-efficiency plastic shot-container wad completely shields the payload from barrel wall friction during passage, preventing flat-spotted flyer pellets and eliminating pattern fringe voids. This preserves pellet spherical integrity to deliver consistent pattern density and reliable energy delivery on small game targets.
Launching its 1/2 oz payload at a high-velocity 1,240 FPS, this Hunting Series load generates sufficient energy to drive deep penetration through feather, fur, and hide while maintaining smooth cycling. Assembled using high-strength 2.5-inch plastic hulls, uniform metal heads, clean-burning propellants, and non-corrosive primers, the cartridge guarantees crisp ignition, tight chamber sealing, and positive extraction across break-action over/unders, side-by-sides, pump-actions, and semi-automatic .410 shotguns.
Key Benefits
