My son managed to shoot his first deer this year at 6 years old! He was using a .300 blackout and made an absolutely PERFECT heart shot, literally blowing it up, but there was no blood at all on the ground. We got lucky and walked up on the doe around 40 yards away, but I wasn't very happy with the lack of blood. I am looking at other potential calibers to get him and my daughter that will produce better results. We were shooting barnes 120 grain vor-tx ammo. Everything I have read only is "they're the best". I have always taught him to shoot behind the shoulder as I am not a fan of ruining meat if it's avoidable.
Options I have considered:
350 legend
6.5 Grendel
6.5 Creedmoor
7mm-08
All of these rifles will be in the AR platform(or similar) to have an adjustable stock and heavy.
I would love some insight from guys who have been through this stage already.
