My daughter has gotten every single deer she's shot with a featherweight 7mm08 I built her on a remington action all with 1 shot instant clean kills and has no problem whatsoever and she's now only 14 years old. In my opinion it's possibly THE best deer cartridge ever no matter how big/small or young/old you are. In fact,since then as I cannot pry it away from her,I'm going to build 1 for myself (featherweight) to add to the2 7mm08s I already have.
