I have a 1949 stevens 22-410 just checking could I safely use 410 slugs in it The best answer& safest to your question would be to send a note directly to the Savage/Stevens corporation for an answer. |

The only slugs in .410 I have heard that may cause issues are the Russian Barnaul slugs, which may be bored for T/C Contender .45 LC / .410 chamber and bore.

jrguerra is correct, probably. I had a quantity of Barnaul slugs, which I bought for a brief fling with an AK-type semi-auto. The slugs were very hard cast of some type of mystery metal and miked out at .42". My '57 vintage Mdl 24 has a tight choke at .38+/-. I didn't want to take a chance, even though my barrel certainly seems thick enough.
On the other hand, most US brands use either Foster slugs (soft lead with a hollow base which expands when fired), sabot loads or Brenneke slugs. The latter two types are designed for rifled barrels and are probably a waste of money in your smoothbore .410....if you can even find them. BTW, I'm willing to be educated otherwise if anyone has experience otherwise.
BTW, if you found someone in the present corporate form who would actually know about vintage Mdl 24s, it would be a miracle. Or, that someone on this forum found a new job.
