Shotgun Takedown

12gauge,20gauge, and 410 bore distances?

Okay im a hunter and i want to know what the effective kill spread is of a 12, 20, and 410 gauge shotguns are. i know that chokes like full and modified can differ the effective range but can you please tell me what the range is of those gauges and heres the guns i have, for the 12 gauge i have a Model 1987 Winchester Takedown modle (Trenchgun) and the 20 guage i have a Hunter Arms side by side double barrle(i know that one is modified) and PLEASE tell me the effective ranges of both 12 and 20 gauges are with each choke. thank you very very much

Besides chokes, pellet size really comes into play.

The longest effective range you will get is just over 30 yards if you use #4, 5, 0r 6 size shot. That’s for both 12 and 20 gauge. A .410′s range is 20-30 yards with the same size shot.

Of course slugs will give you a range out to 100 yards but you didn’t mention them.
