I got an H&R pardner in .410 recently and wanted to know if anyone has tried taking the choke off or reaming one out. I was thinking it might help with buck shot accuracy or slug accuracy. I'm not worried about that thinning out bird shot patterns.

Most 410's are over choked. As far as buck or slug, what are you going to shoot at any range with those loads?
Most states will not allow a 410 slug for any big game use. For home defense, the buck load will work fine at the likely 5 yard or under range you will use it. Forget the slug, they weigh 88 grains.

boring out some choke is not hard. Keeping it concentric and centered can be a bit of an issue. That being said years ago before I knew much better I would wrap cloth backed paper around a wood dowel use a drill and go slow never had any issues but I might have been lucky.

I have had them so long, I cannot tell you where I got them. The place may no longer be in business. I would try Enco (use-enco.com). My 2008 catalog has them listed as "adjustable Blade Reamers" and they cost about $16 back then. More than likely they are now made in China, mine were made in USA. Good luck. Regards, Bob
