[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 358248, member: 22262"] A 7mm-08 will be good for her as long as you dont use the heavyer bullets. Might also want to consider the 243 as it too does not have alot of felt recoil. The 7mm 08 would be better in the long run i think. Being that a 7mm-08 actually uses the 308 as its parent case the only thing that would help is shooting the lighter bullets assumeing the gun weighs the same as your 308. But then again the 243s parrent case is also the 308 so there again it would be weight of the gun and bullet that would make the recoil less. Hope this did not confuse you too much. Lets try this 243 shooting 90g bullet at 3000fps will create 8.76LBS of free recoil energy 7mm08 shooting 140g bullet at 3003fps will create 17.2LBS of free recoil energ 7mm08 shooting 120g bullet at 3126fps will create 14.26lbs of recoil energy A 308 will be about the same as the 140g load for a 7mm08 Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
