Looking forward to this year for deer season. My daughter turned 12 and passed her firearm safety class. So she is pumped up. She will be coming up the second weekend. Got her Ruger american compact .308. With the Hornady custom lite ammo. Man those take huge recoil out like 25 percent. Pretty impress with the less recoil. We only shoot like 30 -80 yards at that range i think the bullet will still be very effective.If shooting like 200-300 or further yards dont know if i would be using custom lite bullets.
Almost a month away I'll be in Northern BC for mountain goat and moose. Been getting in shape, starting to get excited for that.
My buddy bought his son a full size ruger American in .308 and the recoil with normal factory loads is minimal. I bet it's down right fun with the lite loads. I had a 7600 in .308 and a Winchester m70 compact in .308 that both bucked like a mule. That should be a great rifle for her!
