Jim,
I second the recommendation on the Sierra 85 BTHP. That is what I'm reloading for my daughter, age 9, who wants to get her first deer next year. I also took the Hodgdon website advise and reloaded some H4895 at 31 grns with that 85 gr bullet. Rem cases, and WLR, I also took the advice of the Sierra manual for the OAL. This load shoots about 1" to 1.5" so far. Yet to chronograph it but I'm guessing 2500-2600 fps. This should be the ticket for her and her new handi this season.
Best of luck,
Deerandduck
