My friend has a daughter who is seventeen and 110 pounds. We are going to take her elk hunting, but she didn't like the kick of the 7mm-08 we were offering her. I've got a 243, and she's fine with the kick from that. I was wondering, is it okay for short shots on broadside elk? What bullet should I use? I was looking at the 115 grain Barnes Original. What do you say?
