[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2427912, member: 54383"] So i Do a lot with getting kids into the field. I never use the .223. I’ve killed a lot with that round but from experience it’s not on the same level. A lost animal will also negatively affect how the kids think about hunting. A lot depends on distance. If they are gonna be hunting 250 and in a .300blk with a 110gr or under is very light recoil and effective. If shot are gonna be longer the 6x45 is a fantastic round. I’ve built mine off a 204 just had the barrel swapped. If you do a savage axis .223 the barrel and swap is cheap. Next up and one I’ve just recently started to recommend is the 6.5 grendel. In these calibers you must remember that bullet weight does effect recoil. I try to stay in the 100gr bullets for that round also as the case capacity is only so much so you get much better performance and less recoil with 100gr. 6x45 the 80-95gr bullet is also great but if pushed to the same speed as the Grendel the recoil is the same. 90gr bullet going close to 3k creates about the same recoil no matter the case pushing it. So yes the 6x45 is great it may be cheaper to purchase a howa mini in 6.5 grendel and have them shoot that. Paper and steel 100gr eld Game 99gr hammer hunter. [/QUOTE]
