[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1646182, member: 54383"] I just make a point of getting new people in the woods at a young age. The one thing I noticed was that even though a .243 is mild for us still has recoil for a new shooter. Some kids have no problem but if they do that habit is very hard to break. I have a friend who’s dad started him on 30-06 and to this day he struggles to correct issues of flinch. So my go to is 300 blk if under 150 yards And 6.5 Grendel if you may have a longer shot. Both work great. I also have a 6x45 that works amazing. Need to work up a load with some hammers for it. I don’t get hung up on picking a caliber that all stores carry. They may have a box of .243 but it may also not shoot worth the crap. I get the idea but I never use that rule. Because let’s face it how many of us could find the ammo we shoot at the general store. Maybe 30-06 or 300 win but most on here shoot something a bit odd. And with hornady pushing these things. Almost every sporting goods store carries Grendel and 300 blk. Just like the creedmore. They wanna carry what’s hot and will sell. [/QUOTE]
