[QUOTE="fmuguira, post: 1752626, member: 27974"] I wouldn't rule out a 243, 260 or 7-08 ( all 308 based cases) and start with H4895 reduced loads. Google Hodgdon/Winchester reduced youth loads. Those are pussycats to shoot with light bullets and are very accurate. Have loaded them for friends grandkids in 243 and 7-08. Antelope, Deer and Elk did NOT like them. As your daughter grows you can work into full power loads and have a lifetime cartridge. Oh, a 223 is wonderful to start with also for high volume, inexpensive practice; however for hunting I d have the 243, 260 or 7-08 around for game. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
