Took my hunting buddy (13 year old daughter) to the range last night to show off the new Omega. She thought it was cool and wanted to shoot, clean etc but was concerned with the recoil.
She has shot her deer with the 30-30 but will not practice anymore with it (other than a few shots before season) so she shoots herr 22lr to keep sharp.
I was trying to compare recoil and estimate that the 100 grains of pellets shooting a 250 shockwave sabothad a recoil just above the 30-30 and below the 270. (your estimate?)

So, the question is, What is the minimum load along with what bullet she can use just so she can have some fun shooting the gun. and....
What would be the minimum load along with bullet she can use to take a deer at 100 yards or less?

She thinks the smoke blowing out of the end of the barrel plus all the actual loading and cleaning of the gun is the coolest thing
