1) I don’t think 590’s come threaded for chokes? Having that done may allow you to achieve the pattern performance you’re looking for. Granted, having that done wouldn’t be cheap but I know Beretta makes a full line of chokes for .410. Get the threading and pick up the improved cylinder choke. The slight constricting of the IC choke could be the ticket. Not the results wanted? Grab the cylinder choke & you’re back to where you started.

2) Would have been cool if you had crono’ed the velocities to see what you were getting verses what was advertised on the box. Especially to see what velocities the 590 generated for the 2 handgun orientated rounds. (I know, chronographing shotguns is not easy & has a high ‘failure’ [didn’t register] rate. That and the danger of having the chronograph take pellets & get destroyed…)

Also I use remington UD when I don’t have hunting loads in

Sounds like hand loading might be the best option. 3pellets plated OOO might be the magic sauce. Now to find something close to a “flight control” wad.
