[QUOTE="jensenj71, post: 3021115, member: 96797"] Both of my daughters were more concerned about the bang than the kick. They hesitate to pull the trigger because of the bang. You need to find something where they don't hesitate. I had some luck loading down for practice and stepping it up for hunting with a 308. They had no idea that the elk hunting rounds were running a heavier faster bullet. If it is going to hurt without a brake then you are stuck with a brake. A 7prc may hurt without a brake depending on load and gun weight. Any gun my daughters could pack and shoulder in 7prc would hurt without a brake. Too much bang with a brake. If I did it all over they would start with an 20" barrel in 6.5CM and a 5" light weight suppressor. A 6.5CM will take an elk easily under 200yds. I am certainly not saying a 6.5CM can't take an elk beyond 200yds with ideal shot placement. In a hunting situation I am always packing something that will reach past 200yds and make much bigger holes. My goal is to make them effective inside of 200yds with the gun they carry. I specifically want them to be willing and able to shoot offhand quickly at anything under 75yds. When the conditions are right, they have no problem getting on the ground and setting up behind my 14.5lb 338 Edge with a brake. We have time to insert ear plugs and get the ear muffs out of the pack. We can figure ballistics....eat a sandwich....glass some more.... and eventually shoot something. For every long distance opportunity there are six 30 second opportunities in the areas we hunt. I spend the bulk of my time finding a critter that will stand still for 5mins while they get ready.
