[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2954548, member: 124909"] 41.3 grains of Imr 4895 win or primer with a 150 sst runs about 2525fps. Works like a champ for a friends daughter that I load for. Very good wound channel and kills quick. Generally exits so it leaves a blood trail too. 44 grains of imr 4895 with everything else the same runs about 2650-2675 and drives tacks. Recoil with both is negligible. Just more of a good thing. You might also consider a 125 grain bullet with 38-40 grains of H4895 and a magnum primer. Put as much weight in the stock hole as you can on a feather lite rifle and use a Limbsaver recoil pad. My son started with a similar load in a full sized model 70 with a shortened stock And Limbsaver pad. The perfect caliber for a small kid in my opinion is 6.5 Grendel in either AR or bolt action. Very low recoil and muzzle blast. I actually prefer the AR version because of the adjustable stock. I know it's a semi auto but you can single load it if you choose. I build more of these for kids now than any other type. My niece has used one since she was 7. The good thing is with the adjustable stock is that it'll grow with them. [/QUOTE]
