[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2301461, member: 10755"] Way ahead of you there, we are using 120g bullets at present, I believe they are youth loads, not 100% sure. I started her shooting a 10.5lb 25-06, recoil is minimal, and my F-class rig in 6.5x47, no recoil to speak of. Then I bought her a mint condition first series Sako L461 Vixen in 222. That rifle purchase was a mistake, she wants all rifles to recoil like that now. Then she wanted to hunt deer, she won’t shoot any of my deer rifles, including my switch barrel in 264WM/7STW, it weighs 15lbs and a 29” barrel, recoil is barely noticeable. So, I’m trying to get her used to a little recoil, the rifle is light, the R3 pad helps but she doesn’t hold it tight enough all the time, which is the problem. I’m hoping the AI can be loaded down even more cuz the sharp shoulder helps with this. I only just borrowed some dies from a member at my club, just a plain vanilla RCBS set to get me started. The cases stretched on the first sizing, which I do not like. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
