Default RE: .223 for 8 yr. old for deer?

Bigbulls...I load mine light...90 grains, and still get plenty of energy without recoil. I shoot a cheap Traditions in-line, and with 90 grains of powder and 180 grain bullets, it doesn't kick much at all.

I believe it is a lighter recoil than my 243.

I shot my buddies Omega with 150 grains of powder and 240 grain bullets...that's a different story.

I am, however, built like a tank. LOL
