The each very in gun weight, bullet weight, charge weight, etc.
This came about from someone stating the 25.06 has less recoil then a 270.

If you were too down load the 7mm 4 grs of powder to the max load of a 243, with the same bullet weight and measured the recoil it would be virtually the same.

338 win mag! That way when she doesn't like it you won't have to worry about her ruining 'Deer Camp'. Just kidding!
Get a rifle that fits her. If she's small find a youth model 7 in 260 rem. She'll love it, And I promise it will take down 90% of the game in North America.

Why not try a muzzleloader. IMHO they are good guns for beginners - teaches you to use that 1 shot intelligently.
I have shot numerous 50 caliber muzzleloaders with loads that would be good for mulies and the kick is very mild. I also know some youngsters that shoot them for this very reason.

someone told her they they all kick like a mule,
If whe is comfortably shooting a 12 or 20 ga shotgun there is no reason that she should be afrade of a .270 provided therifle fits her.
For mule deer and even elk the .270 will do an excelent job. A regular ole 130 grain bullet will put the hammer on deer and a good heavily constructed bullet in 140 or 150 grains willcleanly killany elk.
A .243, 7mm-08, and a .308 have exactly the same recoil????????
Now tht's funny right there, I don't care who you are.
Yep, some people definetly shouldn't give gun advice.
