[QUOTE="excat, post: 2385928, member: 29449"] 410 was my first shotgun, .22 short was first rifle. You aren't going to find any ammo cheaper than .22lr, even if inflated. Even if you are paying .20/round, you are still cheaper than any other round you listed. Next cheapest is .17 HMR, and you are still looking at .30-.40/round. You can get 410 for .40-.48/round for a target load. (Prices stated are current online pricing.) Just because he can "handle" the kick, doesn't mean he's going to be able to shoot it for extended periods of time, or want to shoot it very frequently, OR tell you the truth that it is hurting him because he doesn't want to let his dad down. My dad started me on his 20g was I was 10ish, and while I could handle it, it was punishment to me, and I hated to shoot it, and I wasn't a very small 10 yr old. Not all kids are the same though, that was just my experience. [/QUOTE]
