    Cant go wrong with a 65 Grendel, it would work perfectly for the young fella. Im pushing 95gr Vmax's at 2900+fps. Works great for hunting and I can hit a dinner plate out to 500m.

    My, then 13YO, used it during the NZDS Hunts course. Low recoil, easy to handle rifle.

    I dont like shooting heavy for calibre projectiles, personal preferance.

    Exactly like Rambo-6mmrem said, the lower speed genetated by the Grendel causes it to act like a normal hunting projectile.
