[QUOTE="eyeballjr, post: 455118, member: 7745"] My son used the Hornady 95gr superformance (I think) this year (turned 9 in July) and dropped a deer with a high shoulder shot. I told him to shoot it behind the shoulder, but it dropped the deer in his tracks. Shot was somewhere between 80 and 100 yards. He says that it kicks a little, and got scope bit on the first practice shot due to not having the rifle ON his shoulder, rather he had it under his shoulder(leanth of pull was a little long for him. Was hoping that wouldn't scare him away from the round and luckily it didn't. I think with a little practice, you son shouldn't have to have a reduced load. JMO though. I'm wanting to rebarrel this gun before next deer seasnon with a 6.5 creedmoor, but don't know how much more it would kick than the .243. [/QUOTE]
