I just got done working up a load for my two sons, 10 and 12. They shoot savage 16 weather warriors, one in right hand the other in left topped with matching VX-II scopes. I had excellent results using Hornady SST 139 and Accubond 140's. Varget did ok and I will actually play with it some more but my best results came from 44.7 grs of IMR 4350 and CCI 200 primers. With this recipe I can get sub inch 5-shot groups any day of the week, my best being 0.375 measured edge to edge. I did a lot of testing on various days to prove this load reliable, not just a one time fluke. I hope this helps a little and good luck with that young shooter.
