It’s not much different from a 3” .410 but

The shot column is shorter/wider so it should give a superior pattern density. As long as shot smaller than #6 will get it done it should be great. I’ve shot squirrel with #4 and #6 in .410 but there are not that many pellets.

Interestingly I have a .56 cal. smooth bore TC Renegade. It is literally the normal .54 cal with the lands drilled out! I think it was a special run for northeastern states where rifled arms were prohibited. It’s a heck of a gun with very good accuracy to at least 75 yds. Super easy to load and clean. .56 also happens to be “28 gauge”, so I can use those wads and shot cups! But being a muzzle loader I could shoot 2 oz. of pellets if I wanted.
