[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2601359, member: 68875"] A couple comments: 1. AWESOME JOB! 2. You will need to swap bolt heads from standard .473" with the .22-250 to a .534" magnum for the .270SS or 6.8 Western. 3. Don't think you need a short magnum to kill deer a long way out. My daughter is a surgeon with her 6.5SLR (think .260 Rem case size). She has killed 3 pronghorn and 3 big mulies with it pushing a 130 OTM. From 381 to 771. She has also killed a pronghorn with my 25SST at 331, and it was no more dead than any of the other pronghorn. 4. For a 9 or 10 year old to start shooting, you might want to start with a bit lighter cartridge choice, or plan on a brake. I hate to see someone get recoil shy when they start out. [/QUOTE]
