[QUOTE="8andbait, post: 1152918, member: 40850"] My daughter was shooting my 6.5 creedmoor yesterday with 140 bergers. She had only shot .223 and 22 up to this point. With the 6.5 she put the first two at 200 yards about 3/4" apart right where they should have been. Then I spotted for her and she had first round hits at 330, 554 and 710 on steel. It was pretty cold so she only made a total of 5 shots but they all would have been kill shots. My opinion would be a 6.5 creed and you can load it down with 100 or 120 bullets then move up to full 140 loads when she gets a little heavier. While watching the recoil when my daughter shot the rifle with 140's, it only moved about 1.5" toward her face. I made sure it was touching her shoulder and all was good. My only concern was that she might not have enough mass and get hit in the head with the scope but no problems and it never got close to her. [/QUOTE]
