[QUOTE="500mag_guy, post: 822234, member: 34924"] ^^^+1^^^ If your daughter isn't going to be shooting out past 2-300 yards I'd say your 150 gr pills will do the trick. Not saying its a good idea but I've seen elk fall to a 85gr pill from a 243 but it all comes down to shot placement. If your daughter is scared of the recoil of the heavier bullets you will end up making a lot more work for yourself when her shot placement isn't as good as when she was shooting the 150gr pills. Keep shots inside a reasonable distance and have her send one into the boiler room and its all over! [/QUOTE]
