Sellier & Bellot 3/4-oz light load in #7.5 shot. S&B takes their European experience in load development for 28ga and finally made an affordable loading for the US market. 28ga has been popular in Europe for decades and is gaining popularity in the US. This would probably be a better choice than a .410 for a young child learning to shoot a shotgun because it patterns better, has a mild recoil, will reach out to clays and game farther, and costs just a little more than .410 to shoot.
