Assuming a 150 grainer?

I load 10 grains of Unique for kids to shoot...

for accuracy loads, in one that normally won't shoot well, they seem to like 18 to 20 grains of SR 4759... about 1800 fps or so..

I have an old Model 24, that is a 410 and 22 LR.. My grand dad owned it and actually shot out the 22 barrel on squirrels.. he passed away way back in 1968...
