Daughters first deer rifle

Texas hunters are just shitty hunters and shooters. Dog sized deer from inside 300 yards needing a magnum. L O Fucking L.
Says the star licker telling the OP to use a 223 even tho it's illegal in his state. You really are some special kinda shit pile throwing out advice.
Do all hunters a favor and fuck off...

And, most of those shit birds are being told to bring magnums by their guides, who think more boom necessitates less tracking- regardless of shot placement.
I don’t know a single hunter who uses a magnum. Prolly the most common I see is 30-06, 243, 308 or 270. Prolly more 270 than anything… excellent deer cartridge.

I know I’m a fudd…

My uncle shot a 300 weatherby with 125 grain bullets for deer. He was a big man and absorbed recoil. By contrast, I feel like the rotation of the earth downshifts when I touch the trigger on that gun.

Around here, 270 win and 30-06 are pretty ubiquitous. After hunting with a 6.5 Grendel for the better part of a decade, any long action cartridge really seems like overkill.

That said, I drew a hunt and the hunt rules stipulate a minumum of 270 caliber and 150 grain bullets. So, dusting of the long action.

6.5C is a great deer round. My kids moved up to a 6.5C and a 7SAC (necked up C) after they got big enough for bigger guns around 10 years old. Before that they killed their first 25+ with a .223 and Barnes all copper 53 grain bullets. Placement, placement is what I teach. Shoot the shoulder mid to high with any decent bullet in most any centerfire. Tailor the shot range to the catridge. Can't run far without a working front leg and bone chunks take out the heart and/or lungs. We have a liberal season of 6 per person. so our sample size is big. We eat a lot of deer. The 6.5C would serve her well. Good bullets available, mild recoil, kills very well for us far past ranges she will be shooting I expect.
