From what I have read, any one of the bullets originally posted would be a good choice but my question is which would you recommend for a small frame female? She shoots good, as good as most men but I don't want her to get recoil shy and she has shot a few 180's in a 06. We were in Africa so adrenaline may have eliminated recoil.
Get her a 300 wsm. My wife, 5' 5" or so, shoots a Rem 700 with a youth stock. I also know 3 or 4 other woman, none of whom are large frame, who choose to shoot the 300 wsm. Just get a rifle that fits her, that is more important than anything.
As far as 30-06 bullets go, any decently constructed bullet from 165 on up will kill elk or moose just fine.
