Thread: Selection of caliber for new shooter(s)

Years back, 1980’s or ‘90’s in Rod and Rifle Graeme Henry wrote about the 308 being a great rifle for a new shooter, if you could hand load. Choose a lighter projectile and load down for the newer shooter, and as their ability improves gradually change the load to a higher power load.
I did this with my daughters, I used a 130 gr projectile to start with, both took deer with it, now I’ve loaded up a 150gr full power load for them to use.
