Squirrels

silenced .410 shotgun can get them on the run with the spread noise is low do to the silencer and being a .410 not to much power for shot going to far

I use Fenn and Magnum body grips and Kania 2000 trap with cuddy tunnel attached.

Bloody lethal, not for the faint hearted !!

There is a bird box set up with magnum body grip trap made by Fourteen acres, chap called John. These traps are wicked ! Nail to tree trunk , no tails protruding from traps.

If you are baiting , I use peanut butter spread on bait arm ! And piece of nut stuck into peanut butter, I usually run a cable to the trap like length of string or wire with dog clip on the end tether trap to location so if trap goes off it doesn't disappear!!

Has one one used these ?

The shot from a .410 will go just as far as the shot from a 12 , 16 or 20 bore . Just less of it .

your quite right about the shot distance is the same just spreads a bit more and becomes gappy at distance so less of a damage, but in genuine i find 2inch .410 cartridges less powerful as dont put holes in the sheds when shooting rats with them

Were as a 3" magnum probably would ! My .410 is fully moderated and will take out a crossing pheasant at about 25 to 30 yards as long as you place the pattern in the right place . It full choke though .

i have had the original pedretti hushpower full moderator all the way back to the breach no foregrip 30inch of mod and that was really quite and u could kill rabbits and hare out to 35 yards with fiocchi magnums with it and now have the 3 shot pump mossbergg hushpower not as quite but the extra shots make up for it at times

I have the same Pedretti as you . must be 35 or 40 years old now . When I got it I had to file the burs off the inside of the barrel where they had drilled through . It made the pattern sorta rugby ball shaped . Look on the thread " show us your guns " I seem to remember its called .
