264Win,

Did you make sure the 7mm-08 fits her? My 12 year old 105 lb. granddaughter used her 7mm-08 I built for her this year to take two nice Mule Deer Bucks and two Wild Boar with. Using loads equal to or a bit better than factory. Why not use slightly down loaded loads for the 7mm-08? A much better choice than the .243 Winchester for Elk. Lawdog
