Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA
I got both my son and daughter Rem Model 7s in 7-08. I put Limbsaver pads on them and velcro cheek risers for the stocks because their faces don't have any meat when they are 12/13. I downloaded 139gr Hornady interlocks using H4895 powder to give 2200 fps at the muzzle. They could shoot these loads without flinching and it grouped at 1MOA. Four one shot kills from 60-120 yards using this method and now they are big enough to take standard loads. I think Remington used to sell reduced recoil ammo if handloading is a problem.
