[QUOTE="Sanford338, post: 2168919, member: 100724"] Have a MK5 RC in 257Wby... probably my most favorite to shoot.. loves the Barnes TTSX or TSX in 100grain.. 1/2” or better... great caliber. As far as recoil, imo it’s not bad. But I shoot other large magnums that have more thump .. so I don’t think it’s bad. My daughter shoots it for hogs and whitetail.. she’s about 5’4 and 110 or so she doesn’t complain...you mentioned .243, she shoots it as well. She likes both, but if given the choice she picks the 257.. Take him to the range or a place to shoot at and let him try both. Sometimes what we think will work is the complete opposite.. let him pick. You might be surprised.. main thing is getting him involved..! We need the next generation more involved in shooting/hunting... & kudos for taking the time ... hope it all works out! Let us know which one he likes👍🏻 [/QUOTE]
