[QUOTE="BigNate, post: 2940708, member: 301"] We don't know your boy or his size & capability. I started my boys shooting coyotes at about 6 or 7 maybe, using a 22mag or mini14. They progressed from there quickly. By nine the heavier. 22-250 was my youngest boys favorite and his brother was using a .257 Roberts. Point is starting them with something they can shoot well will be better than something to big that builds bad habits, flinching, etc. We're it me, starting my boys over with today's choices, first a .223, second 22 Creedmoor, 6.5 Grendel, or 300 BO. There's plenty of time for bigger toys later. And yes, with proper bullet choices, the .224" cartridges can be very effective. This is an exit from a 16" 223 shooting 77gr TMK at about 90 yards.
