[QUOTE="LoadOnSunday…Load Again, post: 2689900, member: 123056"] Hi there, I’m hoping to get some of your Years-Long Wisdom for what is probably a simple answer.?! My 12 year old daughter shot her 1st Buck last year at 256 yds and her 1st Cow Elk this year at 330 yds. Both were with her mom’s Remington seven in 7mm-08 using factory 140 gr corelokts. (I can’t for the life of me get any of my hand loads to shoot better than those in this gun…..but that’s a different story.) I also have a Ruger American in 7mm-08 for my son that does like my hand loads. MY QUESTION IS.. Should I buy another 7mm-08 for my daughter to use on many hunts to come?.., Or should I buy her a 6.5 Creedmoor?…. I Know There I Said It!!! We mostly hunt Whitetails and Elk from 50 to 400 yds. Which caliber would you buy her and which out of the box not to expensive rifle would you get it in?.. Keep in mind she’s the oldest of my 4 kids and it can’t cost much because I, well, have 4 kids. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
