[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 702366, member: 43468"] I have a .243 and a 7mm-08. Im 4' 11'' and 100 lbs The 7mm-08 i shoot 140-162 grain bullets out of a 5.5 lbs gun and it has quite a bit of recoil. The .243 we shoot 80-100 grain bullets in a 6 lb gun and the .243 has noticeably less recoil. I love both calibers but for cous and antelope the .243 would be my choice. Also, if you want something different, howbout a 257 Roberts? We have a Ruger M77 in 257 rob and we shoot the 80 grain ttsx at 3284 fps with 1/3 MOA accuracy with NO WORK TO THE GUN!! The 257 Rob is probably my favorite cartridge out of all the other cartridges that i have ever shot (which is 13 if i remeber correctly). [/QUOTE]
