[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 603740, member: 13632"] At that velocity a varmint bullet may well work perfectly but I would not let a youngster shoot them unless I had tested them on game first. We shoot a pile of antelope and deer with a 22-250 and 60gr Berger varmint bullets and they are perfect, I would be very tempted to load an 80gr Berger in a 243 for what your doing but I would be hesitant to let the young one take the first animal with them unless tested by yourself. The Barnes TTSX should open down fairly low but I would also test them on game prior to your son to make sure all is well, I've had Barnes open but not have enough velocity to do enough damage to even tell an animal was hit well till they fell over dead after quite some time.
