[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1772127, member: 92702"] Cody, Here is a thought. 300WSM on a long (3.4"?) action. WSM is pretty soft for a 300 and very efficient. I had a 28" Abolt for a while that was that heavy and unbraked. Kicked less than a light rifle in 7-08 I had. Using the long action and throat and seating the bullets out should get you close to 2900 with a 24" barrel. Using a longer barrel would make it pretty clumsy for a girl I would think. Another thought would be the same gun with a 190ABLR. Good long range BC and it would be a great bullet for that cartridge. Would get the velocity up enough to help with wind drift. This bullet is a little soft in a RUM up close, as I have found out, I suspect it would be perfect in a WSM. She would notice the difference in recoil. And it might out perform the 215 [/QUOTE]
