My bad. I forgot to include two considerations:
First, I am trying to get away from adding new cartridges to my gun collections. We currently have 7 firearms as follows:
.380
9 mm
.223
.30-40 Krag
.308
.30-06
12 ga.
<bad english>I would like to stick with something that I already have one of.</bad english>
Second, she has had shoulder surgery on her right (shooting) shoulder. She loves to shoot my PSS .308 with a shoulder pad or towel, but it is entirely too heavy for hunting. A light .308 would be great for hunting hogs and deer, but I don't want to risk having her shoulder come undone, so to speak. She is a very good shot with a scope, so that is not an issue. I think that she could do neck shots on a deer from a stand without any problems.
Sorry for the lack of info.
