Your wad coloum won't be much anyway more than likely due to there not being a lot of room in the 410 case,

Trouble is exactly what I am not asking for, hence proceeding with caution and wanting to understand the big picture before diving in. As per the heading of this thread, I know enough to know I don't know enough, entertaining the idea of uncontained shot in a ported barrel being a case in point.
