Even with cylinder bore, I saw 1.5” groups with these same slugs @50 yrds. in the 20” model. I did install a Skinner rear sight with a .095 aperture. With Federal 1/4 oz. slugs, I saw fantastic accuracy at 100 yards smashing clays on the bank...
It's good to know that Henry has two models of this .410 and they really should put your good suggestions in their shotguns. They would more than likely appeal to more buyers, I think. Not everybody has perfect eyesight and being able to use a scope or other type of sight ( red dot ) would be the way to go with this model.
I shoot all kinds of different firearms. I’m 42 and have been actively shooting since I was 12. To this day I find myself shooting my single shot Savage 410 and enjoying the crap out of it.
Yes I had the 12 guage I traded my moss berg .22 semi automatic rifle to my brother and I kill lots of game with it. Plus it was $40 new and if I took it in the rain it didn’t matter S long as I cleaned and oiled it up when I got home. My neighbor kids father ran off with an 18 year old girl and left that family and since he was a kid younger than me I got the pleasure of teaching him safety and how to put food on the table if he needed to. I bet he still remembers those days as much as I do. Good friend.
I am actually quite intrigued by the new X-Model of the .410. With the ability to have the choke tube if I ever want to get out on some birds or deer in the field, and also shortened barrel for tighter wood walks for rabbits. The sideloading isn't necessarily a make or break aspect. Having some sort of wood furniture on it though would be nice.
410 is my favorite. First gun was a 410 single shot (H&R). I then bought a Stevens 555 over and under in 410 and now have the lever 24" from Henry. Thank goodness there are now handguns and 410 has regained some popularity. When I was younger, 410 was like the most expensive ammo. I used to mow lawns just to buy 25 rounds.
Thanks, Buffalo. I have a Henry 410 like yours, and I bought some of the Brenneke slugs. I liked the heavier weight. I have a lot to learn about my shotgun & the loads.
Apparently, Henry paid attention to your suggestion on drilling and tapping the longer barrel model. The new side gate loading one I just picked up is drilled and tapped. It takes a Weaver 63b scope base. Henry doesn't make a base for this gun as of my time of purchase but this base is recommended by Henry. It also fits Marlin 336 and Mossberg lever guns as well. It fit perfectly on my Henry. 21:05
Sweet little shotgun great video as usual !! ...I got my Bear Creek Arsenal 458 but there was a 450 bushmaster in the box they sent me a new label so it's on it's way back. One email and it was taken care of !!
Good Job Dude. Glad I found you. I like your presentations. You think like I do, and you explain things quickly and precisely. Keep doing what you're doing.
Great video. I'm a big Henry fan as well. I have the several from the 45-70 to a 22 however I don't have the 410. Can't commit because the wife is watching me as I type but I have lots of time. Thanks for sharing.
There is just something Great about these old looking guns. Just today i did some Shooting with my Brother Using an Walther LG mod 55 air rifle that i repaired. Anyway Great Video, Keep in going
If Henry had a brain (& they do!) you would be a brand ambassador. Every time I watch you shoot I am amazed. You run my favorite channel Mr. Buffalo. Thanks
It really does make a difference. I've had some shotguns that wouldn't shoot a decent group through a cylinder bore but turn into fantastic shooters (for shotgun slugs) with an IC or M choke.
Now that is some impressive shooting given that you are not aiming you are calculating and you hit 3 out 4 at 60 yards hooot..... Dooogy...... you my friend Can Shoot.! And that's That...🔥🔥👍👍👍🔥🔥
I've learned a lot by just watching you and your shot preparation through trigger squeeze. Do understand the difference between accuracy and precision.
A fact my dad use to take deer with 410 and he said the rang is a lot more decent then people think. A lot people from older generation deer hunted with 410 s.
I find that even with iron sights my point of impact shifts a little from prone to standing, particularly vertically. You should try that same 25 yard shot from standing on paper and see what it does.
Buffalo Great video great shooting I love videos especially because they just for the normal hunter and shooter and not many if any don’t take the time to do in-depth review of the 410 ammunition etc , I have the mossberg 500 it came with two barrels a silenced barrel and a normal one many thanks injoyed the video
The choke tube version with drilled and tapped receiver is the ticket. Then find somebody that makes a 410 rifled choke tube for it. The advent of rifled choke tubes is a game changer.
I am looking at the Henry, the Rossi and the G Force. The quality of Henry is good, since I own a 22 Mag lever gun in that one.( wifes gun) actually bought it for her. Another thing is American made giving Americans jobs , that is important , but back to basics I feel I would really like the gun you just tested, good for buckshot and say #4"s in TSS for Turkeys. You really , put on a great video with much put into it which is so informative compared to many others doing the same thing. Thankyou Buffalo, loved it and I think you convinced me of which one I want , the one you just tested. It is something in todays world to see a nice lever gun with wood furniture that someday I know my grand daughters will enjoy when I am no longer here.
Thank you, Buffalo! I have the same Henry, and bought some Close Encounter slugs, although I was looking at the slightly heavier weight. I need to get it to the range and pattern it, and see how I manage with slugs. I really enjoy your tests with this shotgun, but I also want to use mine in the skeet field. I want to test sporting clays loads with different chokes to see the trade-off between pattern size and pattern density. Thanks for trying the Brenneke at 60 yards. I look forward to your next 410 video.
Thanks for the compliment, but no, I am just crazy. I want to get smooth and fast with the lever, and doubles will force that. Skeet was hard enough when I had a self-loading 20 gauge! If I can score 4 out of 25, and learn to handle the gun, and have fun doing it, I will be happy. I had to give up the 20 gauge due to medical concerns related to recoil. A 28 gauge might have been better for sporting clays, but I wanted a 410 repeater with choke tubes. Like I said, I am just crazy.
Your gun was appeared slightly canted to the left that will shift your aim slightly to the left, hold your aim with the gun straight and vertical and your aim will be more centered. Still with just a front bead, the accuracy is quite something. Got to love the shotgun any gauge versatilty is quite wide. Good video.
Thanks for the video. Good shooting. I have the 19" barrel version. Unfortunately I haven't really had time to get used to it. I do like it as.far as I have used it. It's based on their 45-70,and I think it uses the same action. I have the 30-30 Wildlife and 22LR Frontier rifles also. They are all smooth actions. My next adventure with Henry is to take the 410 and see if it can work with clays.
Agree on both suggestions! Looks like Henry Repeating Arms did drill and tape both versions now (2024). Still don’t have them both threaded however. Too bad. Guess I would personally go with the 24 inch barrel version. That way could throw on a red dot and use slugs or go bead for chicken hunting.
Glad I watched this one. I've been planning on getting one of the Henry .410's but wasn't sure if I wanted the 20" or 24" versions. The problem now is that those slugs you shot from the 24" Henry liked the tighter bore but weren't hitting point of aim and the 20" version has adjustable sights but only a cylinder bore... Love the channel btw.
Like this little Hennry. 410 great little farm gun. Or just takeing awalk gun for some fill a pot. With that accuracy with slug make good coyote gun up close
Oh sure, Buffalo showing off shooting on an outdoor range with no snow on it. While us poor northern guys (or at least me) have to just watch other people get outside and have a good time shooting on CZcams. Actually come to think of it I'm glad you're making vids for me to watch while I wait (seemingly forever) for the snow to melt off of my range. Great group with that shotgun. Take it easy man. *:-)*
Man nice shootin buffalo, yea those breneky slugs work awesome. A lot of people don't know that little gun is a great little hog gun,and you could take deer at close range with it know problem. A long time ago I used to have a Steven's 26inch single shot that I shot slugs through when I was a kid. It was a full fixed smooth bore. We didn't have brenekys back then but the regular ones worked fine.
@@buffalosoutdoors man I have told people they dump hogs real good,and they look at me funny. Them slugs put good holes right in the ribcage,or a neck shot works real well.
You must have accidentally got a Henry designed for California since it tends to shoot high and left.
Bahahahahaha (gasps for air) BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm gonna have to remember that one... lol
I'm speechless.
waydago Jeff. Well said!
Not sure if Jeff or OG.
There's just something about a levergun. Great, comprehensive video!
Thanks Pat!
Nice methodical process. Good info. The very minor mistake with the rest was a good reminder for all, glad you left that in. Thanks.
Very well done. Everybody in our family got the Henry .410 when they came out and we enjoy shooting them.
Even with cylinder bore, I saw 1.5” groups with these same slugs @50 yrds. in the 20” model. I did install a Skinner rear sight with a .095 aperture. With Federal 1/4 oz. slugs, I saw fantastic accuracy at 100 yards smashing clays on the bank...
.410 is underappreciated and can be utilized by people who are smaller framed and recoil sensitive.
Thanks for the .410 love Buffalo
I agree!
@I am a Neo Nasty used a 410 for over 50 years and never had a problem, it takes a deer or any other animal.
It's good to know that Henry has two models of this .410 and they really should put your good suggestions in their shotguns. They would more than likely appeal to more buyers, I think.

I do the same. Have 3 12 gauge, 16 gauge, 2 20s, but that .410 single shot is so dang fun. Wish shells were cheaper.

I appreciate your content, honesty, and sincerity. Looks like they followed your suggestion for the drill and tap! I was holding out for that.
I have to say
"Thank You"!
For shooting shotgun slugs on target I think this is the first time I've ever seen it done !
"That target is going to appear upside down... because it IS upside down." - Guns AND comedy! Nice shootin', Buffalo!
LOL! Glad you liked that. I try to be funny sometimes but I'm honestly not very good at it.
Yep, I do love my Henry lever gun ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
You're welcome! I am glad you enjoy the videos!
I have the shorter version with rear sights and love it!! Thanks for all you do with different firearms!! Love your channel!!
Thanks, Buffalo. I have a Henry 410 like yours, and I bought some of the Brenneke slugs. I liked the heavier weight. I have a lot to learn about my shotgun & the loads.

Great looking shotgun I've got a Henry 1860 in45colt I inherited it from my father-in-law Super nice rifle thanks for bringing us along buffalo
Glad to have you!
Lots of good info for a relatively new shotgun shooter! Thanks.
I learned a lot from this video. Thanks!
I really like your videos. Thanks for being informational
I agree with your suggestions. They would certainly provide a better overall performance application.
Thanks! I just think it would improve both models. Instead of having to choose between rifle sights and choke tubes you could have both if desired!
Came here due to TFM. Thanks for the advice. Loving the content.
Thanks for coming over, Jeff runs a great channel. The Taofledermaus are one of the few big channels that will even respond to comments.
Love this concept. Gorgeous too.
Thanks...good info.
I liked your report,thank you.
THanks!
I love them henrys
agree with your suggestions to Henry.
Excelente video!!! Muy bien explicado, se aprende mucho con tus explicaciones, créeme.
Muchas gracias!!!

Great suggestions Buffalo! Henry, please take note. Thanks
Waiting gor hour suggestions! Exactly what i would request
Great shooting! Another great video!
Great shooting sir.
Thank you.
Good job 👍
Thank you!
If Henry had a brain (& they do!) you would be a brand ambassador. Every time I watch you shoot I am amazed. You run my favorite channel Mr. Buffalo. Thanks

The choke made a big difference. I may need to try some of those in my judge
It really does make a difference. I've had some shotguns that wouldn't shoot a decent group through a cylinder bore but turn into fantastic shooters (for shotgun slugs) with an IC or M choke.
Damn good groups for a smooth bore.
"The target will appear upside down, because it is upside down."
Man, you had me looking through my phone settings for Kentucky windage. 🤣
LOL!
Practice shooting Ninjas hanging from rafters
a lot of good information on this video.
Thanks man!
Great shooting Buffalo!
Thank you!
3/4" at 25yards, you are a fine shot my friend. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
I’ll second that great shooting
Now that is some impressive shooting given that you are not aiming you are calculating and you hit 3 out 4 at 60 yards hooot..... Dooogy...... you my friend Can Shoot.! And that's That...🔥🔥👍👍👍🔥🔥
I kept tellin ya glasses but you wouldn't listen. Nice job as usual Buff.
LOL!
Love the lever gun..and love to run them....good stuff buddy
Glad you enjoy the lever guns my friend!
Man that is a beautiful shotgun, great shooting too.
That's some fine shooting there at long range.
Thank you!
Looks like they listened, the new side gate 24” barrel model is drilled and tapped!!!! With the side gate, I’ve got to have one now!!!!!
What a cool lever action. It’s old school with a new school look. Good video👍
Thanks!
I've learned a lot by just watching you and your shot preparation through trigger squeeze.
Do understand the difference between accuracy and precision.
Thank you! I am still learning myself! I am always trying to improve.
Yeah I agree
A fact my dad use to take deer with 410 and he said the rang is a lot more decent then people think. A lot people from older generation deer hunted with 410 s.
You got a new sub here. Great video and very informative!
Thanks! Glad to have you here!
I find that even with iron sights my point of impact shifts a little from prone to standing, particularly vertically. You should try that same 25 yard shot from standing on paper and see what it does.

I LIKE THAT SHOTGUN!! good group at 25 yards, 60 yards 3 out of 4 WOW, IMPRESSIVE!! yup gonna get me a 410 Henry.

That is a sweet lever gun! Cool vid!! I think a micro dot would look great on it. Wont take away from the gun as far as looks.
I agree!
Seen 1 today at rural king . Nice gun
They are very nice guns. I like shopping at Rural King. They have made some very pro gun statements on their social media accounts.
Nice
Nice testing and shooting as the modified worked better with the grouping.....Nice slugs....Good stuff....
What a difference a few thousands of an inch makes!
I watch for the excellent content but stay for the fire banjo outro
Damn good shooting 👍
THanks!

Muito Bonita a carabina meu sonho de consumo..!
I had the 20” model threaded for choke tubes by a gun smith after I bought it

I had a nightmare that I saw you dressed up as a leprechaun yesterday. 😁 No more cold anchovy & pineapple pizza before bed for me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
man YOU ARE GREAT! i love this: "that target is going to appear upside down because it is upside down". i nearly choked, rotflmao!
i like ya man, you seem like a good guy.
What a cool diverse gun this would be to have ..
THanks! It has been handy to have for sure!
My son will have one of those in the next year or so.
That backer wad needs mini fins, but then I supposed it'll be classified as a missle. LOL
TAOFLEDERMAUS sent me over and I am so glad they did. great channel. subscribed with the bell on.
Awesome THANK YOU for subscribing!

Love the channel btw.
Glad you found the video helpful. I understand your dilemma in choosing between the two models.
Also make the shorter version as axs know to compete with the Shockwaves
Begs the question why Henry doesn’t thread the barrel of the 20” model? Still, it shoots most slugs pretty accurately.
that second group sorta looks like a D graffiti. lol
(edit) great shooting buffalo, as always!
Thanks!
Like this little Hennry. 410 great little farm gun. Or just takeing awalk gun for some fill a pot. With that accuracy with slug make good coyote gun up close
betty nice little gun !!! And U´r right to push Henry a bit forward and I hope they listening to U !
THank you for that! I try to give feedback to gun companies when I have something to say!
I get excellent groups w/a 870 modified barrel @50yds w/foster slugs. Same deal w/a model 12 16ga modified barrel.
Oh sure, Buffalo showing off shooting on an outdoor range with no snow on it. While us poor northern guys (or at least me) have to just watch other people get outside and have a good time shooting on CZcams. Actually come to think of it I'm glad you're making vids for me to watch while I wait (seemingly forever) for the snow to melt off of my range.
Great group with that shotgun. Take it easy man. *:-)*
LOL! Sorry man! I wasn't trying to rub it in! I am jealous of the guys further south than me if it makes you feel any better!
Man nice shootin buffalo, yea those breneky slugs work awesome. A lot of people don't know that little gun is a great little hog gun,and you could take deer at close range with it know problem. A long time ago I used to have a Steven's 26inch single shot that I shot slugs through when I was a kid. It was a full fixed smooth bore. We didn't have brenekys back then but the regular ones worked fine.
It is legal for deer here in Ky and I know personally many hunters who take deer year after year with a .410 slug. So I agree with you 100%.
@@buffalosoutdoors man I have told people they dump hogs real good,and they look at me funny. Them slugs put good holes right in the ribcage,or a neck shot works real well.
.410 is about all you will ever need in the thick forests where I live.
