[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1706145, member: 108576"] When my daughter started hunting I got her a 243 because most girls are just smaller than boys and can't take much recoil. I let her shoot my 30-06's,270's,6.5x55,358(not any mags) but she preferred the 243 with good bullets. With Hammer bullets I would not feel handicapped at all with 243 even at 400 yards. On the other hand the Hammers in 6.5 would give you and her more confidence in complete pass through even with 400 yards shots. One friend uses 88 gr Hammers and kills as many Muley's as I do. We have gotten use to ultra fast bullets and forgotten the older slower cartridges that have taken way more animals than the latest and greatest new cartridges. Not that I don't like the newer cartridges but give them 40 to 50 years in the field before discounting the older solid performers. Just my 2 cents Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
