You can use nothing but 410 shells in a 410 shotgun.
The 410 Shotgun is really .410 Caliber. Unlike all other sizes of shotgun, (10,12,16,20,28gauge), the 410 is measured in caliber. I believe it works out to something like 36 gauge. So the 410 shotgun is .41 Caliber
I own a model 150C that my father purchased for me when I was 12 in 1964.
