7mm-08, reduced recoil rounds
As stated earlier, my kids shot them. Hornady SST 120s. Only reason I switched was they didn’t consistently exit. With kids (And 3/4 of the adult deer hunters) shooting it’s always a plus to have a deer with two holes versus 1. I switched mine to full loads when one of my daughters was 7 and they never noticed.
One of the big things with kids is proper form. A lot of kids now days start shooting with a scoped rifle instead of BB guns and pellet guns like in years past. Shooting open sights requires proper form that can be forgiven with a scoped rifle. I see a lot of kids with split eyebrows and complaining about recoil due to improper form. 2 lbs of bbs and a case of beer cans (Miller lite white can is best target can ever made) can go a long way in teaching kids proper form.
