[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 2160644, member: 280"] I bought a .243 last year for my (then 10 yr old) grand daughter to use. I wanted to test it first, and killed two does with it about 10 minutes from each other, 100 yards; one DRT,one ran 15 yards. I loaded some reduced loads for Valerie to try, and she obviously has no trouble with the recoil: [img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Jakeway/Valeriesfirst243groupAnnotated.jpg[/img] So, I worked up some slightly heavier loads (95 gr Hornady SSTs at 2660 fps) which she tested two weeks ago. They worked swell! [img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Jakeway/IMG_0029.jpg[/img] Next year she'll probably use full-velocity (2800 - 2900 fps)loads. [/QUOTE]
