[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1604237, member: 30671"] ......Some of the changes in bullets have improved effectiveness in both. If not for having the 130 grain Hammer in 7.62 it would be a clear choice. Shot a few small critters with the 7.62 factory ammo, and have been underwhelmed. Cor-bon was loading a 150 grain at 2350 fps, that's decent for small stuff, but they don't any more. I think I bought the last 6 boxes. .....You did make me realize a piece of grandpa's issue is, it's a fun little thing, that really hasn't been explored much from hand loading in a good bolt rifle. .....The Ruger Hawkey Compact is nearly perfect rifle for "youth" the little stainless in laminate we bought in .308 for one kid is a nice rifle-even the adults picking it up are pleasantly surprised. In a 6.5 something I think you're right tough to beat. Needs a rail to open up options for rings. .....Making it a "kids" rifle is getting the stock scaled correctly, not just shortened. I think Wayne will come up with something. Kind of gave him a little input, and free reign with my No. 1, and it came out better than what I could have imagined in advance. [/QUOTE]
