Overview of Hornady Critical Defense 410 Ammo
Developed and used in England in the 1870s, the .410 bore was not widely adopted for a long time. Some shooters felt it was novelty-only, but others found it great for hunting and competition shooting.
The .410 emerged in the U.S. around 1915, when the Harrington & Richardson company became the first to produce this shotshell for single-shot shotguns. In 1933, Winchester introduced a three-inch shell for the .410, spurring other firearms and ammunition manufacturers to get on board with this cartridge, ultimately growing its popularity.
