[QUOTE="DZelenka, post: 651258, member: 20543"] Any of the small cased 6.5s (6.5x55, .260 and 6.5 Creedmoor) or 7mms (7-08 or 7mm Mauser) could be loaded down using a 100 - 120 gr bullet at 2300 - 2400 fps with a 30.0 - 35.0 gr charge of H4895 (I like this powder because it produces good accuracy with reduced charges). That velocity range works great on medium game as it is comparable to popular pistol hunting cartridges like the 6.5JDJ or 7-30 Waters. The advantage that these would have over equally appropriate cartridges like the 6.8SPCII and 6.5 Grendel is the ability to use the powder capacity and heavier bullets at a later time. If you are talking about building a rifle and you are really worried about recoil, a 6mm-.223 with an 85 gr partition or 90 gr Ballistic tip would meet your requirement of .24 for Colorado. This or the aforementioned 6.8SPCII and 6.5 Grendel would make a super youth cartridge. There are a lot of choices. [/QUOTE]
