I know that most people would agree that a .410 would have a very limited range of effectiveness. However in my experience have actually made two very long range shots while hunting quail both of which were almost 75 yards using two completely different .410 s which were given to me on my 13th birthday in 1973 the first was a Remington model 1100 semiauto. The other was a single shot. Both of shots were witnessed by my grandfather on two different hunts. I was 16 on each occasion.

It also depends on the choke you are using. I know that almost all of the fixed choke 410s were made full choke, but todays 410s come with tubes. I have a Yildiz O/U with screw in chokes and hunt quail with it using IC and Mod chokes. Works fine out to about 30 -35 yards. As a kid I hunted with a Win Model 42 pump that is full choke and it would reliably reach out to about 50 yards.
