A .410 rifle works for young hunters, too.

Mossberg, Remington, and Browning manufacture some of the most popular .410 hunting rifles. Mossberg Mini rifles are designed primarily for small kids; with adjustable stocks that will expand as the child’s height increases through the years, the gun grows with the young hunter.

TAKE CARE

Always remember that a hunting rifle is a weapon, and it can kill. Never shoot a firearm if you have the slightest doubt where or what that bullet will strike or if it will ricochet o§ a surface. Bullets can travel faster than the human eye can detect, so take care when shooting.

CHOOSING AMMUNITION AND SAFE DISPOSAL

Both .22 and .410 rifles commonly use three main types of bullets: 40 grain solid bullets, hollow point bullets, and a cheaper, 40 grain waxed bullet. Solid bullets have a rounded top, and hollow points have a hollowed-out area in the tip. Hollow point bullets expand on impact and make a larger hole in a target. Waxed bullets cause waxy buildup inside a gun, but they are still widely used because of the inexpensive price.
