[QUOTE="DNADave, post: 1752397, member: 110467"] This is from Chuck Hawk's recoil table online: Cartridge Rifle Weight Recoil Energy Recoil Velocity .243 Win. (75 at 3400) 8.5 7.2 7.4 .243 Win. (95 at 3100) 7.3 11.0 9.9 .243 Win. (100 at 2960) 7.5 8.8 8.7 .257 Roberts (100 at 3000) 7.5 9.3 8.9 .257 Roberts (120 at 2800) 8.0 10.7 9.3 6.5mm Grendel (120 at 2600) 7.5 8.9 8.8 6.5mm Grendel (123 at 2590) 8.0 7.9 8.0 6.8mm Rem. SPC (115 at 2625) 7.5 8.0 8.3 6.8mm Rem. SPC (120 at 2460) 8.0 7.5 n/a If you are loading down a .243 Win, you essentially get the same recoil as the Grendel or the SPC. Also, a .257 Rob without the +P is in the same category. I'd go for the .243 Win or the .257 Rob to start out with. Also, since she's 3, get her a Davey Cricket .22 LR single shot bolt action. It's sized for her and definitely no recoil to deal with. [/QUOTE]
