[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2214496, member: 30671"] I loaded for youngsters Ruger Hawkeye Compact Rifle, 16" barrel .308. I went with Federal 215 primers, 130 grain Shock Hammers. 3000+ fps. A good load out to 400 yards. It grouped sub MOA, and I didn't shoot it after handing it back. Sweet little set up I could find use for myself. The 124 Hammer Hunter is a good choice. I have another youngster shooting the 143 Lever Hammer from my Ruger No. 1 also mild recoil, and if range isn't long could be a viable choice as well. Any one of these is adequate for game larger than deer. Always good to see someone bringing in a new shooter, and respecting their limits. Best Wishes! [/QUOTE]
