Will be loading 100 gr bullets?? Or should I use something heavier to hunt with? Thanks

B C how old is your daughter? On my Stevens in 25-06 the first thing I did was remove their not so good pad and put on a Limbsaver.
The next thing I did was load up some 75 gr V-Max bullets to practice with the rifle, then when I became comfortable with it we loaded up some 100 gr barnes TSX bullets and went hunting, well after a couple more trips to the range. FS
