[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1800220, member: 109113"] That sounds pretty good to me. With lighter bullets, the 7mm-08 can be loaded to pretty much duplicate the 243 Winchester's ballistics. That seems to be a commonly-recommended cartridge for youngsters and smallish lady shooters, and the 7mm-08 can be loaded down to that level for their first couple of years of hunting. Since they may want something bigger than the 243 later on, loading the larger cartridge to full power when they're ready for it would accomplish that quite nicely. [/QUOTE]
