I have a daughter that is 8 yrs old. She has been shooting .22 with me for 2 years now. She is a pretty good shot!! She has hunted deer with me for a few years. She has shown interest in shotting one this year. I have a 44mag handi rifle that is on a youth stock. I loaded some 44spl loads up in mag brass. Unique loads with a Lee 240gr TL boolit. She shoots this but is not anxious to shoot it alot!!
Would a .223 be a better choice as far as recoil?? I like the 240gr boolit better than a .64 gr. I fell like the 44 rifle would be good as long as the speed is around 950pfs or up. I did buy a slip on recoil pad for her.
Any thought/opinions??
Thanks
Jeff
