[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3748760, member: 15054"] I shoot a 104 gr cast bullet sized to .308 from my 308 and propelled by .3cc of red dot powder. Nickle size groups to 30 yards and 2" at 60 yards with plenty of knock down for cans etc. 664 fps If that does not get her liking rifles you could bump up that red dot load to 10 gr. And top it with some 170 gr cast bullets. My buddies wife shoots my 30-06 with 11.5gr red dot and 170 gas checked Lee bullet all day long. 1400 fps. She was hesitant of shooting it at first. But after the first then second then third she asked me how many of those rounds I had made. I can shoot 25 or more and the barrel is not even as hot as leaving it in the sun on a 70 degree day. Too much fun. [/QUOTE]
