[QUOTE="crashlanding, post: 2393543, member: 44614"] Bought a youth Remington model 7 in .243 for my son to start with and then on to my daughter. They killed both mule deer bucks and cow elk with that rifle. Shoots a Sierra 85 grain hollow point very well, all the deer were shot under 200 yards, as well as most of the elk but 1 cow was shot on the far side of 300 yards. Funny thing about kids, they know nothing about velocity, foot pounds of energy or kinetic energy for the most part but they do know if they practice out to set limits, they know they can make the shot and put the animal down quickly. So I guess from experience, the .243 would get my vote [/QUOTE]
