Good first Calibre for 18 year old daughter.

The only way that could happen is if he miscounted the number of rounds he removed. Without checking the breech,he attempted to lower the hammer which would still be in fullcock positon and a round was still in the chamber. His thumb slipped and "BANG"!

Or he just dry fired on an "empty" chamber to uncock it.

You just gave me the willies,werner. That's criminal negligence cause death. Prison-slam dunk.

My oldest daughter has been using my .243 with good results. She's about the same weight as your daughter. I love that calibre as a deer gun. If you can get one with a little weight to it, she should be able to handle the recoil without an issue
