    I use the belmont black 55gsp in my howa and it easily shoots under an inch. I've shot 8 fallow with it so far, all shoulder or front on chest shots and they've varied from dropping on the spot to going about 20 metres

    Shot a fair few and seen heaps of fallow shot with cheap 55-62gr sp ammo. Mate and mines main spotlighting gun for years was an old 223 brno. I shot a big bodied buck at 140-150m one night as it stopped to jump a fence, went less than 10m. Your daughter will have no issue as long as she puts it in the right place which I'm sure with your guidance will be easy
