A buddie's daughter didn't care for the recoil of his Howa .308 with factory ammo. She didn't mind my cast/powder coat load, 26.5gr. H4895, at around 1700fps.
Hunting in Cleburne county, she shot her first deer, a spike at 30 yards broadside, a little far back. It fell down a small mountain for about 200 yards, leaving a large blood trail. Hit the back of a lung, blew apart the liver, and got into the guts a little. Baseball-size exit wound.

Good going, congrats to the young lady and thanks to you for helping another new hunter.
Is that one of the Mossberg Flex rifles she's using?
It's a Howa 1500 heavy barrel with collapsible stock. I don't know the model name.
Good job, both of you! I had a similar project last year and you have every reason to be proud of the results. Thanks for taking the time to help a young hunter.
Great Job. Loaded some 30-30 up for my nephew but he has not got the opportunity to pull the trigger on one yet.
That big smile says it all.

Wow, got her first with cast. Good on you for helping to get her started!
Yep, she looks like a happy girl for sure.
Great job, congratulations to them!
