[QUOTE="carpetman2, post: 1597718, member: 18775"] All four of my daughters and my youngest son started out shooting many rounds of 22lr. I then worked them into a 243 and on into a 7-08. The girls all took elk with the 7-08 using 120 Barnes TTS and 139 gr. SST's. They combined have taken over 20 whitetail bucks and a Muley buck with the 7-08 and a couple with my wife's 308. If you work them into it slowly and use small for Cal. Bullets like the Barnes, accubond, or Partition with a slightly reduced load they will love it and shine. We have a 6.5x284 now and my youngest son (13) has shot it with 140 gr. Bergers for the past 3 years. It is his favorite rifle along with my 270 wsm. He shoots them both out to 1300 yards and loves them. The creed would be just as good in my opinion. Just start with the low recoil guns and work them into the larger cal's slow and have fun.
