Youth Hunt Calibers

[UTGrad]

6.5 Creedmoor with 147 grain ELD-M

308 with 130 grain TTSX

We are ready!

 

[Kevin]

We're rocking 243 Nosler Ballistic tips

 

[Harold Money jr]

The quickest kills I've ever seen was the 125gr Remington managed recoil .308 loads. I saw a few bucks shot through the shoulder hit the ground and the legs didn't even kick. The recoil was pretty much nonexistent. I'll bet those 130gr loads will do the same thing.

If she goes, my youngest daughter will use her mothers 243 with my 100 grain interlock handloads. If she doesn't go, I will take my 11 year old son, he is autistic and is not quite ready to shoot a deer. I have a 6 arc i built for him when he is ready. Running handloaded 103 grain eldx in that gun.

Yep these are a handload recipe that run about 3000 fps. Kills deer like lightning.

My son will be shooting the same 30-30 marlin rifle that I killed my first buck with back in 1987. Loaded up with some green box Remington Core-lok 150 gr.
My oldest son killed his first buck with the same rifle. Hoping to see something with horns in the morning!

 

[Union Co. Boy]

My 6 year old son will have the Encore in .25-06 with 117 grain Hornady Superformance. It's been a proven combination in the past. I hope it works some magic this weekend!

 

[Gravey]

Good luck to all the youth.

 

[Jcalder]

100gr nbt in 25-06 going about 3450

 

[EastTNHunter]

6.5G, 100gr NPTs at 2770fps in the Howa mini

If he still can't quite reach like he thinks that he can, then 6.5G, 123gr SST at 2450fps in the AR

Oldest daughter will be using her .270 Win with 130 NABs at around 2800fps

All hand loaded for their purpose and recoil

 

[timberjack86]

Daughter is 16 and she is shooting 308 150 PowerPoints!

 

[Acorn]

My boys will be shooting a 243 loaded with Winchester powermax 100 gr. hollow points.

 

[Swampster]

Pistol calibers are good for young ones. Little recoil.

 

[30-06 type of guy]

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

I have a 7mm-08 for the kids but since he is as big as me he prefers my 270 WSM

 

[jmoreland]

Custom 280 with 168 Berger VLD's

 

[44 mag]

Remington 700 in 300 blackout 150 grain Winchester soft points.

 

[TJS209]

One grandson shoots his 243 w/100gr. remingtons. First deer last year and looking forward to this year.
Second grandson has 7-08 patriot with custom camo. Reduced loads.

 

[Deerhunter]

7mm 08 120gr Nosler BT

That's what my boy will be rocking in the morning. Over a healthy load of Varget.

 

[Shag]

Remington 700 in 7mm-08 shooting Winchester 140gr ballistic silver tip ammo. Daughter put a perfect shot on a nice little 10 pointer this morning with it. Blood everywhere! 40 yard recovery.

 

[TX300mag]

We had to skip this one because of the new addition, but second youth will be .270, 7mm-08, .223, 223, and .223.
