[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2302444, member: 95013"] Any wildcat using a sharp shoulder and an overbore amount of powder - >68 grains (depending on powder of choice) out of a long action is going to have some punch. It is inherent to the case, even though technically it is a "non-magnum" which IMO is a misnomer. Yes, it has a standard bolt face but there is very little standard about the cartridge. Any 6 lb rifle is going to kick. Even with a brake there is going to be some punch. My question is if that is the only rifle you have for them? If so, yes maybe a lighter load. As far as a big recoil pad goes, that would probably help but with young shooters, it can put them in a bad shooting position with a LOP that is way too long. [/QUOTE]
