First CF rifle my grandson will shoot will probably be my 30-06. 180gr cast load with 13.0 grs Red Dot held against the primer pocket with a quarter sheet of toilet paper. Shoot's about like a 22 rifle, maybe not that much recoil.
Loading down the cartridges you said with jacketed bullet's might be a mistake for a 7 yr old. Make it fun, no recoil till later on in life.
BTW, I got 1700fps from that load, it will kill a deer I'm told by guy's that have shot deer with cast bullet's.
