My girlfriend is talking about maybe hunting.
I don't really wanna buy her a rifle till I know she's going to actually hunt.
I have a Kimber Montana in 358win
I have a "custom" m700 I "built" in 450 Bushmaster.
Both rifles are LIGHT. The bushmaster is heaviest at 6.25lbs loaded.
I've never loaded anything but full power loads. And I actually shoots Barnes and Hammer coppers...so I know I can't reduce velocity from a performance standpoint.
This would be deer hunting timber. My average shot is maybe 40yds. 15-75yd type stuff.
Any recommendations on loads for either or both?? I'd like to load up both and see what one SHE likes.
I believe I can run 357mag bullets or 45 colt type hunting bullets? No idea where to start. She's not a shooter so I don't wanna pound her with my full throttle loads in lightweight rigs.
Thanx!
