My 12 year old boy will be going on his first elk (cow) hunt this fall and I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to take him out with me for the first time. He will be using my Win 270 that my dad bought for me when I was 16. I have had him out shooting it a couple times over the summer but I think that the recoil is a little on the harsh side for him. I have noticed that he starts to flinch after the 4-5 shot. So I am looking at putting a couple reduced loads together for him to see if that will help out. I have some Nosler 130 gr. partitions at the house that I could use but was thinking about trying the Barnes 110 gr. TTSX to drop the recoil a little more. Shots would be limited to 200-250 yards regardless of what bullet I end up using. What are your thoughts on using the Barnes 110 gr. TTSX?
