[QUOTE="1Moose, post: 1742342, member: 74044"] My parents gave my son a Browning .30-06 semi auto rifle some time ago. I think it could be a good step up for my son in the future who is nearly 11 from the 260 Remington he currently shoots when he can handle it and when we begin elk hunting. My hope is that it’ll be a bit less recoil than my .30-06 (which is a bolt action; my other centerfire rifle is a braked 300 WM) and I’d start to prep him for the recoil by removing the muzzle break on the 260. Any advice for reloading for this rifle? I saw a thread from 2014 which reinforced to stick to SAAMI length cartridges for smooth operation. My dad didn’t put recoil pads on any of his rifles, so adding one is top of mind for me. I’d like to stick to a tough bullet for good penetration. We’d keep the shots under 400 when the time comes (estimate based on his shooting progression so far; from the bench or prone with a bipod he shoots 3-5 shots under 1.5 inches at 200 yards with the 260). Any tips? I’ve never used one of theses—thank you for the advice![ATTACH=full]155498[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
