[QUOTE="Jed2925, post: 1485660, member: 104897"] My 12-year-old daughter has shot a Browning A-bolt in 7mm-08 since she was 9. I started loading 120gr Barnes TTSX and they have been lighter recoiling and deadly on deer. Now that she is 12 I am loading a 168gr Berger Classic Hunter at 2555fps for Elk. She has no issue handling the extra recoil of the 168gr and I like the extra hit a heavy bullet delivers for elk. Not saying 6.5 Creed would be a bad choice, I ran numbers on the 140gr 6.5 creed and they outperform the 7mm-08 140gr in drop and windage but I can't get a 6.5 creed to have the energy I can get with the 7mm-08.
