There is a company called Sterling that makes 3/8oz 2 1/2" 410s @ 1329fps. That seemed a little fast to me
My bet would be that the Sterling load would not be regulated out of any vintage .410 double. I have had considerable experience with .410 doubles, in the field and on clays courses, vintage and contemporary, and have found several to be very finicky about what they want to be fed.

Loads on the light end, and at high velocities, often crossfire in lightweight doubleguns such as .410s.

Also, addressing an earlier question you had about loads, I have had great success with WW 3/4 oz. loads on doves and quail, and have "designed", and use, a 3/4 oz. nickel plated load of 8 1/2s to great success on doves. Patterns beautifully and definitely puts doves on the ground "deader" than any .410 load I've ever used on them. It's a little sledgehammer.
