A cartridge for hunting whitetail for someone who's recoil sensitive - that has .250-3000 written all over it. Too bad it's so hard to find now. You could always get a .22-250 and re-bore/barrel to .25
.
I am kicking that one around. My daughter hunted some with me this year (she's 15) and has went to the range with me for years. She handles my .308 and .30-30 quite well, and has an affinity for the .30-30. I tried to steer her towards the .308, but she ain't taking it. She likes the lever. I told her that I would build her a bolt in a good, soft-recoiling caliber (that being the .250 Savage), but she isn't really interested.
I just may do it anyway.......for me.....
