[QUOTE="winmag, post: 625219, member: 22166"] I started shooting an -06 with 180's when I was 13, & it kicks harder than my 270WSM loaded Hot with 140Accubonds. The 243 is a cool round. But not even in the same league as the 270win, or WSM. I'm sure the 243 would knock a deer on its butt, but the 270 will do the same thing quite a ways further out, plus can be used as an Elk rifle if she ever needed one. It's a bit more versatile is all. Of course you never even mentioned Elk, so, the good news is you can't go wrong with either. :D Guess you better buy both. Haha. Id second bigngreen's advise for recoil reduction, & run with the 270WSM, but that's me. My boys will start out with either 300WSM or 270WSM, loaded light,or standard -06 or 270win cause Elk are on the menue where we hunt, & bears are a regular occurance as well. Best of luck with your choice, & with your lil huntin buddy [/QUOTE]
