I've a couple boxes of Federal .410 2-3/4" slugs = 1/4 oz @ "maximum velocity."
Figure just over 100 grs at maybe 1600 fps .... essentially a .357 Lite.
Buck would be much worse.
BTW, what's max size buck shot .410s come in? 3 pellets of 00?
Think I'd take any rifle (including a .223 - if legal) over anything .410 for deer.
At the very least, you could thread the bullet through the brush limbs - or better yet, enjoy a fine day in the woods & write a great essay about the Ethical One you didn't even take a shot at.
No flames in the least. I'd much rather read a story about that one you could almost touch & never shoot (a lot of thicket archery is like that) than the one that was lost due to inadequate shootin' fodder.
