I just loaded up some "Youth" loads (spelled lighter recoil) for my son's Rem 700 MTN LSS with 120 Grn Sierra Pro-Hunters on top of 44 Grn of IMR4350. Haven't chronographed them yet but book says about 2,700 FPS MV. (So will probably be a little slower)

I don't think he will have a problem with the recoil; however, I am courious if you guys think this load will have enough "umph" on whitetail at 100 Yds or less. Looks like this load would be comparable with a 257 Bob running a 117 Grn bullet so I'm guessing that it should be fine. What do you think?
