The effective range of the 12 gauge shotgun caps out at about 40 yards when firing lead shot. This range increases slightly or decreases significantly depending on the ammunition used, with a solid lead shot being the furthest ranged shot.

Is a 4 10 good for trap shooting?

No, a 4-10 shotgun would not be a good idea for shooting trap. The problem is the small size of the shell - with a very small amount of lead, you have a small chance of hitting your target. Shooting a 20 gauge shotgun is much better but still not a good idea for the same reason. The standard shotgun for shooting trap is a 12 gauge. The largest gauge allowed by nearly all trap shooting leagues, a 12 gauge has enough lead and enough power behind it to get consistent hits and high scores.
