[QUOTE="John Burns, post: 303656, member: 2164"] I really like the .243 Win for the first big game rifle. They will never outgrow the cartridge. I use one on a regular basis and many of the shots on the video Don just put up were made with the 243 Win. We actually use it more than you might think on elk and with the 105 VLD it works great out to 600yds. I know of 5 or 6 bulls taken at Milligan Brand last year with the furthest being 640 yds and one of our camera men , Phil, killed his bull here in Wyoming with one well placed shot to the shoulder at 450yds. Ray Milligan even used his 243 for his Desert sheep hunt last year (500yds) so it hardly is just a beginner round. I would really think hard before I let a 12yr old shoot a breaked rifle. Even with hearing protection the studies show the shooter can still suffer permanent hearing damage. This is why a major gun maker had to write some checks to stay out of court. [/QUOTE]
