That's the answer right there.

My .308 was not particularly accurate. It shot the 165 grain Accubond best of all. Best accuracy, by a lot, came from 43.5 grains of RL15. Based on drop at 100, 200, and 300 yards, it appeared to be just under 2600 fps.

No question in my mind about terminal performance, even at "reduced" velocity, but you have to make the hit first. Given group sizes measured at different ranges, my limit on deer was about 225, elk about 300.

Hopefully your daughter's gun is more accurate than mine was.
