I think it would be lots of fun. People Poo-poo the old 5mm Remington but it was pretty salty, a 38 gr. at 2100 fps? I never saw the 30 gr. at 2400. We shot a Remington bolt gun some and it was flat shooting no doubt but the light weight .22 WMR 30 gr. loading totally made it unneeded. I've not tred the Winchester 25 gr. NTX load at 2100 fps. The .17 HMR at 2600 fps for a 17 gr. is so much fun busting water filled 12 oz. soda cans at 200 meters. With a bipod and solid rest most children can manage it, on a calm day.
As I mentioned my little 6" Taurus runs 2100 fps! Lots of fun.
