Remington recoil managed loads
I have been looking for a rifle for my little sister and really have been scratching my head at some of the prices I've encountered on youth guns. So, my brother and I thought it would be worth while to buy a sims labratories recoil pad and try the 125 grain reduced recoil loads on our backup 30-06. I must congratulate Remington on a fine product. First off, it kicked less than a .243, second she shot a 3" group at 75 yards.The ballistics chart on the box says thatregular ammo and the reduced recoil loads are evenout to 150 yards. After 150 the reduced recoilloads drop more than regular loads. 150 yards is a pretty far shot in our thick woods. I'm almost thinking that unless your youngster is extremely small, youth guns are a thing of the past! Just thought I'd share my field report in case any of you are looking for something for the youngsters.
