I chose a 7mm-08 for my daughter.
I called Nosler and Hodgdon, and came up with a low recoil load that shot well. She has shot it for a few years, and it has helped her build confidence in shooting a centerfire. Now we’re working ona full power load, using a Berger 140.
Even at full power, it is a very mild recoil round, and a super light weight rifle. It’s maybe 7-½ lbs.
The 243 is the same cartridge, just 1mm narrower in diameter. I load that for my buddy’s daughter. She loves it, and shoots it really well.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...
