[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 1753039, member: 105681"] My daughter started out with a 22-250 with 55 grain Zipedo's then I bought her a 7mm-08 Browning xbolt in the micro hunter when she was 10. I loaded it way down with 38 grains of 4895 and 120 grain Nosler ballistic tips. She killed hogs, deer and coyotes with that load and the recoil was nothing. She still shoots that rifle and she's 19 now. Mule deer, elk and all her big game animals out to 500 yds. Now it's loaded with 140 grain Accubonds and a very full case of H4350. Little 20" barrel still gets 2730 fps and has ended up being a great rifle for the long haul. [/QUOTE]
